I had not seen a buck all season and had a any deer tag for the mossyrock unit. I saw alot of does but could not bring myself to shoot a doe with fawns well, thats all I saw, does with fawns. I have shot alot of bucks on halloween so I decided after my 6:40 dentist appt. the husband and I were going for a walk We hit the woods at 7:30. I hunt on private property so there was no road hunting involved, about 30 min. into our hike we saw a doe, scope fogged up and it was flat pouring rain could not see a thing. doe ran off. We were drenched, I have never been so wet, and numb ( the whole left side of my mouth). Stepped into a clearcut and the husband whispers STOP! Looked over and saw a doe as I was trying to dry my binocs the husband was searching for fawns.
I looked back up and 10 feet behind the doe I saw a grey nose. Put my scope up and saw antlers. so what would you do buck-doe-buck-doe I chose buck. I shot once he did not seem like he was hit he just kept following the doe. He must have smelled us because he stood his front legs up on a stump and looked at us at 40 yards so the husband said shoot again so I did, this time he reared up and fell over backwards. I still had to go to work so we took the buck out whole because the husband thought the way I hit it there could be a mess inside. I took the deer home in the back of my truck and left it by the shop, went in to take a shower and then went to work. I have the best husband, he had the day off hung my deer and gutted it for me while I was at work. Gotta love the Guy. In the end I hit him both times I shot
