Ok!!!!! So the final leg of this wild ride that has been 2015 has come to an end
I set a goal at the beginning of the season that I was going to kill a mature 4pt in this state or a doe on the last day of the last season if it came down to it. I hunted a total of 14 days, with all three weapons. I passed over a dozen legal bucks but wasn't able to find one that made my heart jump.
With time winding down, I made my way back over to Spokane on an invitation from Bullblaster to crash his house, and his blind. Now I gotta say, this was the toughest hunt I have had all year!!!! For those of you who have hunted with me or know me, know that I CANNOT sit still for more than about 5 seconds unless I have a tripod in front of me with some sort of an optic attached to it
So to sit in a ground blind for two days was one of the most difficult things I have done hunting that I can remember. I learned a good trick from Bullblaster though, fall asleep, then periodically wake up and sure enough, there are the deer
Only problem was I had the "shooter" stool, which is a code word for the crappy chair that knowone wants to sit in
So a long story short, here we are, its sunday, hawks game is about to start, Im starving, I have to crap like know ones business but there are some fawns and a few spikes feeding by the blind
I tell Bullblaster that the next doe that shows her face is getting a savora in her side. Sure enough, here she comes. Its super doe! Mature nanny that Bullblaster had cam pics of. Target aquired
So she strolls right into 22 yards but the darn fawns are running a screen for her. Deer get jumpy and start to move, I draw, she stops to look back, I guess it for 30 yards, bubble up and that beautiful red light buries in her side! She takes off on a death run and is piled up inside 100 yards
We high five'd and I went running for the bushes
With the Pipeline pizza ordered and the Seahawks about to start, we make quick work of cleaning her up. Pizza was pretty good, Seahawks were even better, but these cinnamon pizza stick things that we got with our order absolutely blew my freaking mind
I don't know if they were sprinkled with crack or what but lord have mercy
All in all, it was a pretty awesome weekend to wrap up the season. Got to share a fun hunt with a good friend. Ate more amazing mexican food from the place I am forbiden to mention the name of
and filled the last tag left in my pocket with a tasty deer that I'm as proud of as any of my other bucks from this season.
On my way home I stopped to pay a visit to Aaron at the Veterans Cemetary in Medical Lake. I haven't made it there since hunting season began and I needed a little bro time and I also needed to deliver his rocks. I bring him a small stone from the kill site of all my animals. Feels like I'm bringing him a little piece of the hunt. I also left him the bloody arrow from my deer
That arrow zipped through both my elk and my deer this year and of course it was launched out of his Hoyt.
