Title: 'Terrible' Hunter puts a Halloween buck on the ground!
Post by: boneill on October 31, 2013, 01:44:02 PM: Well, my fortune has changed! I'm the guy that posted a thread last week wondering if I was really a terrible hunter, or if blacktails were always this hard to hunt. Well, shortly after posting that thread I started seeing a lot more deer. I finally had the right wind to set-up on this spot I'd been waiting to hunt for about 3 days. He came out chasing a doe right before 7:30. Glassed him to make sure he was legal and dropped him dead in his tracks at about 60 yards. I worked harder for this buck than any whitetail I've ever shot. It felt soooooo good to finally put a buck on the ground. He ended up being a 4x5 with a cool crab claw. Thanks again for all the encouragement following my 'Am I really this terrible of a hunter' thread!

Post by: bradslam on October 31, 2013, 02:11:53 PM: Congratulations...nice buck. I've killed several bucks on Halloween. If I had to pick one day to hunt, that is the day I would choose. The only drawback is hustling to get the deer out of the woods so I can get back in time to Trick-or-Treat with my girls.

Post by: bracer40 on October 31, 2013, 02:55:12 PM: Congratulations! One of the traits of the best hunters I know is tenacity. It can be frustrating out there at times, but giving up NEVER gets the job done.
Way to stick with it! :tup:
