Left the house a little after 3pm this afternoon, walked back to a stand, just capped my ML,and was moving my pack out of the way when I heard running footsteps.
Turned my head to the right and saw a buck coming hard.
Started mouth grunting, but he kept running.
I turned back the other way as he passed behind my tree inside 10 yds. Grunted my fool head off and he FINALLY stopped about 70 yards out.
Behind a huge tree!
Soon as he moved out from behind the tree I fired.
THOUGHT I saw him stumble a little as he crested a small rise, but then nothing.
Couple minutes later, thought I saw brush whipping around, but hard to tell as it was blowing hard.
Stared til my eyes hurt, and eventually saw antler.
On the ground. ;D
Wife said there was a MUCH bigger one by my stand at 0700. (too far for her to shoot from where she was)
And my youngest (my deer recovery expert!) said he saw a "Great big buck" chase a doe right across our back field about 11:00 today.
Heard good bit of shooting, so hope you all did some good.
