My dad's very first and a whopper !!
« on: October 17, 2013, 07:26:44 PM »
Wellll not that I'm at jack and have wifi I can post something ! On Sunday my dad out the smack on his very first buck in many years of hunting ! And I got to help him take care of it ! I haven't got my buck yet buy glad to see my dad notch his very first tag and on what I consider a very nice buck ! Since he doesn't know how to use a computer I guess I'll post the story and try my best !

Sunday am he gets set up on a log he found probably 1000 yards from camp if that . The day before he spotted 4 bucks none legal so he thaught he would try the same spot Sunday morning . Got to his spot before sun up and watch the sun rise and listen to the fn chipmunks give away his position he says haha . 7:50 he spots movement about 125 yards down to his left he says " I through my glasses off grabbed my
Knocks put em on the deer and about had a heart attack !" Dropped his binoculars turned the safety off and set up on the log , took couple deep breaths and focused . The deer " by shot placement " was quarters away with ass half way facing him about 10 feet away from trees and heading toward them would be out of sight he has one shot and has to make it happen ! He pulls the trigger and watches' the deer " kinda shuffle his feet " he didn't know if he made a good shot he said . And the deer is out of sight at this time . He gives it about 15 mins and hears other hunters talking towards his deer .. He said his heart about stopped not knowing what was about to happen .. He explains he's seen hunters take deer at gun point ... He stands up and yells I'm comming ! He gets to the deer and the hunters turn out to be a father and 2 kids extremely nice people helped him drag his deer to the road and everything . " big thank you to those hunters helping my father ! I was about 1.5 hours away in my own spot ! But cake as soon as I heard my dad say deer down ! And it's bigger than yours !! Hahah anyways deers in the truck and gutted gets slimed all that turns out the shot was perfect clipped heart lung and took out front right shoulder entered rear left hind quarters the deer went about 10 feet and dropped behind the trees out of my dad's sight !! Sorry for such long story but extremely happy for my dad !! Thanks guys good luck out there !!
