Late Archery Buck

[BABackcountryBwhntr]

Well today was fun, hiked into my blind just after light, the buck I wanted was bedded down 8 yrds behind my blind! needless to say I did not look left as I went to get in, I just placed my bow inside when I heard a deer.... I turn around and there he is... SOB.... he bounds off down the drainage..... I walk over to get the SD card and get settled in. I always drench myself in estrus this time of year and hang scent wicks. About 10 min go by and 2 small bucks come walking in.. they sniff the wicks and have a bite to eat, few min later a few does show up and join the party. 10 min or so later the bucks and does start to become spooky.... I knew they could not smell me so I was hoping a bigger deer was the reason. I catch movement in the trees and this guy steps out.... I had no issues with shooting this guy even if hes not the buck I was after. A 20 yrd chip shot and a center punched heart was all she wrote. He made it 70 ish yards in a few seconds. I really loved this 35 min hunt stuff... all my other bucks have required 100's of hours on stand to kill... this was awesome. He is not a "monster" but IMO a gorgeous buck that not many would pass on. I am happy to have him in my freezer and on my wall.

Good work Paul.  You been busy this season, all over the place, helping people and traveling.  Glad you could get a good buck down.  Hit me up next weekend if you want to team up on elk.  I'll be down Friday morning and at least hunt both Friday and Saturday all day, and possibly half of Sunday.

Good job !  We have seen numerous bucks in the last couple days ..finally we seen a pretty decent 3 pt and my kid shot right under him !!! Today we rattled one in and he stayed about 60 yrds above us just tearing up a tree but would not come down on a grade we were sitting on ..Deer movement the last couple days have been good ! Hopefully we can get one down soon !

Nice buck, but why would you not just shoot the buck you wanted if it was bedded down 8 yards from your blind???

In his post he says he didn't see it until he put his bow in the blind and it ran off.
