Buck of Halloween 2015
Me and dad/Oldbuck got into the bush good and early . I was sitting with a half hour to spare . We had a south to southwest wind this morning . So I decided to sit the cedar stand and Dad his blind on the edge of some other cedars . The morning began with a nice doe coming from behind me and eventually getting downwind . She blew once or twice and got out of there . The next couple of hours were filled with squirrels pretending to sound like deer .
At about 9:30 I radioed dad to see how he was doing and to figure out if we should maybe pull the plug . While talking to him in a whisper I heard a grunt or two . Told Dad what I heard and told him we might be sitting longer . I pulled out my grunt tube to give some grunts back . I guess having half the bushes crap down inside does not make them work very well . So I used my doe call . Got a grunt back and then saw a doe walk through my shooting lane . But what saved her life was while looking at her I heard another grunt . When I first saw him I thought his was a small basket rack . Good enough for me !!
He walked out at 30 yards I thought . Turned out it was 35 . But the Micro struck !! I watched the Luminock sail through the air straight into his boiler room . Radioed Dad with the news . Good thing it takes him a while to get to me . For I was ready to give chase .
He got there and we started the track . He only went a couple of yards before he began to leak . The track was not hard to follow . The buck only went about 75 yards .
We loaded him up on the deer cart and began our slow twist and turn journey .
At first it took us an hour to go 100-200 yards . It hurts when you are going away from the direct path out .
Thank goodness Dad had a bottle of water which we rationed .
On the way out I pulled the card on one of the cameras .
" It is safe guys the hunter is not here "
" These are tasty "
All totalled it took 5 1/2 hours from when I pulled the trigger to loaded in the van . And people dare say it is free meat .
Butcher tomorrow then get ready for Controlled hunt week .
Good luck everyone still .

That's a real nice buck Kevin! Did you yell out trick or treat as you pulled the trigger?
That's a tangled mess in there, I can see why it would take a while to get that deer out.

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

You're only paranoid if everyone isn't out to get you.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
