chubby little ghost
« on: October 26, 2014, 03:43:30 PM »
I finally found a hot doe Saturday morning with a couple bucks on her tail.  I was doing my best trying not to pull the trigger on a little forked horn when I caught a glimpse of this guy poking his head out amidst a patch of hemlock seedlings at about 100 yds.  After I pulled the trigger, he disappeared and I could see a couple deer bouncing away over a little rise in the clear cut.  When I got up to where he was standing when I shot, I couldn't find him.  After looking around for a sec, I heard the sound of deer bouncing away in the distance.  I looked up and saw two does, a forked horn, and a nice mature buck just reaching the tree line.  I thought to myself, "dang I missed".  I tried to make a bleat sound to get them to stop and when I did I saw a deer leg start kicking up from the slash about 50 ft away.  I spine shot him and dropped him in his tracks.  Kinda bummed that I let the big one get away and probably cut this guy down two years before his prime.  He was definitely a healthy deer.  No such thing as a bad blacktail.

Thanks, no hair loss on this guy...beautiful coat.  I think his hair is just a little matted down in a few spots in the pic.  Haven't actually seen a case of it in the areas I hunt, but the deer densities aren't really that high.
