I had mentally prepared myself to hunt hard for 6 days and not shoot a buck unless it was a nice 5pt or bigger (that is until the last day came and then the only goal would be to fill the freezer full of meat!). Day one brought us seeing lots of small whitetail bucks and lots of does. We also witnessed a really nice muley buck rutten a large group of does. Mid afternoon we found a doe that wasn't running 100 miles/hr away from us and my buddy put the hammer down and got the job done! After processing the doe and eating lunch we decided to drive around a little and look for areas we might hike and hunt later in the week.
As it happens we were on our way out to drop my buddies doe off at the butchers to hang..and we see 3 deer on the side of a hill. All three of them ended up being bucks including the one in the picture. Crazy enough we sat in the truck not talking about how I can get a shot off at him but actually talking about if I was going to shoot him. Looking back it was a terrible conversation that probably shouldn't have happened...mentally I was thinking about the next day and what was for dinner that night.
After our conversation we both agreed that there was no guarantee that it would get cold enough in the next week or so to put the bucks in the rut and this was too good of a buck to pass up. After a short hike I got into position and waited for him to turn broadside for a clean shot. He finally moved into position..I squeeze the trigger and boom..the buck just stands there and looks back behind him towards one of the other deer...I jack another round in the chamber and drop the scope on him and boom..drop him in his tracks. After the second shot 3 additional bucks, smaller than him, pop up and mosey out of the area...After realizing that the deer was actually only around 225 yds and I was estimated 300..I know why I missed the first time...I guess that's what I get for bow hunting the last 5 years! Needless to say God truly blessed me with an amazing buck this year!
