Title: Buckluckys Dink by Dink
Post by: bucklucky on November 08, 2008, 09:37:13 AM: Well I thought I better post my Dink buck from this year. Buck hunting was pretty tough this year with only a couple days of descent rain. I did pass on a nice mature buck the first week of season that I kick myself for passing on. We was very tall with big main forks , dead buck till he stopped and looked at me. Dang thing was only about 13 wide but 14 - 15 tall with about a 10 inch main fork. Not sure how many points but at least a 3 on the right. Big swelled neck and on a doe. Well that was the first rain .

I didnt get the time to hunt like I usually get since we had our first child this past march so guess what, I cant just head out the door to go hunting anymore :'(. I did end up seeing a bunch of deer but did get out of my normal hunting tactics and hit the clearcuts more this year, I hate clear cuts. The thicker the brush the bigger the buck as far as Im concerned.

Anyway , I had told my wife before buck season started I wanted to call in my buck this year. I did do alot of rattling and estress calls this year eith a few grunts. I called in a few little bucks but nothing nice that I saw. Well on the last day of season we finally had a good rain. I saw a total of 17 deer but nary a bug buck pushin. I just used up all my luck on my bull this year :chuckle: Anyway I was so wet on this day that my boots were filling up with water. Pants sticking to my legs, couldnt hardly move or pick up my feet. Talk about miserable! On the way out at 1:00 I hit a little reproad patch that you cant hardly see into. Always deer in there. I started grunting. went a few steps and grunted again, now I hear twigs breaking. Ya I knew what was happening, he was comming , and out he popped a little Dink by Dink! Last day for me so BLAMO! Dink buck Down !

Well looks like I filled all my goals this year, killed my big bull and called in my buck :chuckle: Cant wait till next year already!

Post by: boneaddict on November 08, 2008, 09:51:16 AM: Yeah, I am trying to research what seasoning I want to use on mine. I think I will take his marinating it in Coke idea and try that. :) In the old days the tags were a bit more substantial and chewy. They are cut pretty thin now.

Post by: bow4elk on November 08, 2008, 10:33:05 AM: Nice job - dink buck! I only say that becuase you've cut your teeth on enough good bucks to warrant a jab in the ribs. Nothing beats calling in game so for me, a fork called in is better than a 3 pt at 150 yds in a clear cut!

Post by: TikkaT3-270Shortmag on November 08, 2008, 11:03:29 AM: Nice little forky. Do you think I will have a good shot at calling one in the late bow season. I heard rattling is best in pre rut but grunting and a bleet should be good in the late bow right??

Oh, that's what all the red stuff was on my sign. I just thought that some hippie hit it with a paintball gun. You did a great job of cleaning up the gut pile. Thanks and congrats!

Still chewy though. Remember to cut with the grain not against it. :chuckle: Also a little rum in that coke marinade will make it go down easier. :rolleyes:
