Great Buck. Way to stick with a tough bloodtrail. Your success doesn't go unrecognized, and IMO you have an excellent outlook of the way a hunt should be. Congrats

Sundance congrats on the buck! You are a blacktail guru, I always look forward to reading your posts. I always respect the hunt more than the kill but know the roller coaster of emotions that accompanies the pursuit of mature animals. I thank you for sharing and you have my respect.

What a great read! The words must just pour out of you like water from a firehose. Once turned on, get out of the way! Perhaps you should author a book......

Sounds like a great season to me - one that you will likely never forget, and one that I could only imagine through the detailed descriptions and personal feelings provided by you. I felt like I was right there with you, feeling your concerns and sufferings.

Congrats on your personal lessons learned. (great buck too!)

Nothing wrong with that buck, especially for a stick and string.

Nice story and pictures. Would be nice to see a smile on your face though to culminate your efforts and the end of a season.

Beautifully written. I also have gotten complacent in hunts that I figured I had "wired", only to be frustrated by an "easy" doe hunt. Deer have a way of restoring our humility by surprising us with their elusiveness and adaptability. I suppose that's why we still have them around to hunt- they are the furthest thing from a dodo bird, that's for sure.

Have you considered a career as an outdoors writer?

fishngamereaper · « **Reply #19 on:** December 02, 2014, 10:19:34 AM »

Well done

....Kind of reminds me of my elk hunt this year..Takes a couple good knock downs to put you in your place and help you remember what the hunt is really about.

baldopepper · « **Reply #20 on:** December 02, 2014, 10:48:04 AM »

Very nice write up and a respectable buck. The facial expressions in your pictures do a good job of summing up your feelings about the hunt (and your future hunts).

Skyvalhunter · « **Reply #21 on:** December 02, 2014, 11:36:23 AM »

Well done just the same truly memorable

Slimdog350 · « **Reply #22 on:** December 02, 2014, 12:16:04 PM »

Sundance,

Thanks for the reminder about the importance of keeping our humility. Great contribution to the Forum, and a nice buck, too!
