Took a while but this means a lot to an old deer hunter learning new ways of getting it done. Not my biggest but one of the sweetest. Thanks to all with your good advice!
Thanks. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks!Congratulations! That's a dandy for a first saddle deer.
Thanks. I was going to a spot I prepped in late August (my property)but on the way to it I discover a hot scrape and busted a doe near it at 2pm. I quick set up down wind of that scrape. At 300 pm he came in near that scrape but as they do many times searching..was walking down wind or quartering downwind. Walked just past the scrape within 18 yrds of my setup never smelled me…I got lucky. Double lung went 60 yards and watched him go down.Heck ya man, heck of buck! Congratulations!!!
Was he chasing, cruising, just passing through? Public land?? How did he gp after the shot??
