Two buck encounters on the same piece of public and screwed up both of them.
1st encounter was a 4 point on Sunday afternoon/evening. Found a tree that looked to be pretty decent but after getting to height and setup, it had a slight lean and was trying to pull me to one side. Tried to tough it out but had to finally get down after a little bit. As I’m getting setup to start up a new tree, a 4 point sneaks up the hill and gets within 40 yards of me. Of course my bow was on the ground so he blew out. Got setup but couldn’t get him to come back in.
2nd encounter was what looked to be a 6 point, first thing this morning. Get to a tree at first light and get all the way up and setup. As I’m getting ready to pull my bow up, a 6 point comes up the hill from below me to about 40 yards. Another opportunity blown. . Couldn’t get him called in either.
No other deer seen after both encounters. One positive is that I have both spots located on my HuntWise app and I know that there are at least two bucks running around there. From the trails and bedding I’ve seen, you’d think there was a whole herd of deer in there.
