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 .



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 .


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 .
