A VERY PRODUCTIVE WEEKEND
Up to this point it has been a very ho-hum hunting season . Not much action but that all changed this weekend . It was like a light switch was flipped in the bush . Trees are being rubbed and scrapes have just appeared . Even though it was very windy , deer were moving .
Got into the Roost stand . Named after the turkeys roosting in the trees around there earlier in the season . As I got to the stand and prepared to climb up I had a deer standing at 30-40 yards snorting at me .
Around 8:30 I caught movement to my right . It was a fawn moving from left to right very slowly . Followed by a doe . In the background I could see another deer milling around but did not show itself . When the winds started to do a backdraft towards the deer they started getting alittle spooked . So when the doe presented herself I took the shot . I hit her with a X-ACT broadhead .Talk about a bloodtrail .
She went down in about 75-80 yards.
I had Vixchix come over to lend a hand as well as my brother.
Here is Vix helping drag.
Here is Scott relaxing while she drags . Actually it is a picture of him having just broke a limb he tried to sit upon .
Though not the most glamorous of pictures . Here is a picture of us rehashing some hunting experiences . No embellishing here.
Well we fast forward to Sunday.
Dad decide he wanted to sit in the Low ladder stand . At about 7:10 he had a buck come in with his nose to the ground oblivious of his surrroundings . Dad tried stopping with a loud grunt but this guy would have none of it . He was on a mission and it was not stopping for a grunt from a tree . The doe he was following must have turned to Dads favour and stopped in one of his shooting windows . With a steady shot he was off on a flat out run .
We waited until 8:30 to come over to help track . For we had deer moving around us as well .
After a relatively short track we came upon him . Dad made a phone call to say we may be a little delayed coming home .
Time for the Old Buck to feel like a Hollywood star .
Us Rednecks use a different type of grocery cart to bring our groceries home .
After a GREAT weekend we had a celebration drink .

Re: A VERY PRODUCTIVE WEEKEND
Congrats to both of you! Looks like y'all are living up to your "names". Doemaster gets his doe and Old Buck gets his buck. BTW, I was on standby to run a knife up to you guys in case you needed one.

Hey Tim! No need to run the "Sharp Knife Relay" - I had 2 sharp ones ready. It's not like they ever get used for deer or anything so they've stayed nice and sharp!
Kevin - I enjoyed being out on Saturday. Thanks for letting me crash your hunt again. Always a pleasure to hunt with your Dad and it was nice to meet Scott too. Everyone has a good sense of humour!
Nice photos.... except the one of the cow dragging the deer....

Re: A VERY PRODUCTIVE WEEKEND
Guys ,I can honestly say having Vix out hunting with us is not an inconvenience . She is not worried about breaking a nail . She chips in and helps . From carrying a bow because we are dragging , to helping track . (not a hard task )
I am a rich person for having people I would call hunting partners . You know who you are !!!
