Day after Thanksgiving buck
«

This tasty 1x2 buck filled my tag at 11:30 this morning. I walked for miles down this old abandoned road about 100 yards and turned left into the deep dark second growth timber.
At about 70 yards in I approached the main draw standing there we stared each other down. The buck blinked but I didn't and then the work began, I radioed my partner and he drove over rough roads for hours about a block distant from my location, finally getting to my location within minutes of my call. Hours later we had this buck back to the truck after the arduously long drag back to the truck some 170 yards distant down the manicured abandoned road.
Some days earlier I put the sneak on a woodpecker to a two foot distance and I stalked two salamanders for hours, but today I nearly out did myself and filled my tag. I think the practice on the afore mentioned critters honed my skills providing me with stealth and patience! Tomorrow we get back to the challenging elk hunt pushing ever deeper into the woods!
Here is the grip and grin picture.

If you can put the sneak on a salamander......... blacktail should be a cake walk

It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

Thanks all for the congrats. Earlier this morning I nearly stepped on a small screech owl who had just caught a large vole. He popped up out of the grass and onto a small alder stick sizing me up and trying to figure out how to achieve lift off with his meal ticket. I slowly backed out all the while remembering those horror stories of guys getting shredded to bits by those ornery little owls when confronted at close range!
Anyway one more pic as he lay, a bit blurry due to rain on that tiny cell phone lens.

Nice job, Soady! That will be some great eating!
It's been seven years since I traded my hemlock and sword fern for ponderosa and hawthorn, but your pictures bring back great memories of sneaking around after blacktailed deer!
