My 10 year old got his Buck!!!
« on: October 18, 2011, 08:50:06 PM »
Well, I picked my son up after school and we made it out to our spot at about 4 pm.  Not a lot of time until dark but mom says school comes first. :dunno:  I hurried down to check my trail cam real quick and jumped a deer bedded about 20 yards away. :bash:  I got back up to our pop-up blind and we settled in.  I checked the pics of my cam real quick and a little fork horn had been in about 2 hours prior.  I figured it was the deer that I jumped.  I decided to hit the doe bleat and about 10 minutes later the fork horn was standing out in front of us, but a tree was blocking all his vitals.  We got the muzzie up on the shooting sticks and waited for a clear shot.  He kept looking off to out right and the next thing I know, I see antlers bouncing around.  A nice buck was chasing a doe but the doe took him up the hill behind us.  I told my son and he was Ok with taking the forky.  Just then the doe decides to do a complete 180 and brings the big guy into our shooting lane and he stops broadside.  BOOM!  He goes about 20 yards and crash!  The doe and the forky stay right there for about 15 minutes and then forky sees her.  Nose down, off he goes right after her.  They were definately trying to get a little.  Pretty awesome day! My son's second buck.  He is a 4X4.         P.S.  I tagged the deer right after we took some pictures. :)

That is awesome!  Bet he is just one happy little lad.
When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.

If we were supposed to be vegetarian God would have made broccoli more fun to shoot!
"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?
