Title: Late Archery Buck
Post by: BABackcountryBwhntr on November 26, 2015, 12:19:24 PM: Well today was fun, hiked into my blind just after light, the buck I wanted was bedded down 8 yrds behind my blind! needless to say I did not look left as I went to get in, I just placed my bow inside when I heard a deer.... I turn around and there he is... SOB.... he bounds off down the drainage..... I walk over to get the SD card and get settled in. I always drench myself in estrus this time of year and hang scent wicks. About 10 min go by and 2 small bucks come walking in.. they sniff the wicks and have a bite to eat, few min later a few does show up and join the party. 10 min or so later the bucks and does start to become spooky.... I knew they could not smell me so I was hoping a bigger deer was the reason. I catch movement in the trees and this guy steps out.... I had no issues with shooting this guy even if hes not the buck I was after. A 20 yrd chip shot and a center punched heart was all she wrote. He made it 70 ish yards in a few seconds. I really loved this 35 min hunt stuff... all my other bucks have required 100's of hours on stand to kill... this was awesome. He is not a "monster" but IMO a gorgeous buck that not many would pass on. I am happy to have him in my freezer and on my wall.

Thanks, it came together... I love blacktails because there is never a pattern... that is the first time that buck was there in the morning this month.

Do you put the corn in something or throw it on the ground? Thanks

No problem they eat it fast though... those deer ate 100 lbs every 2 days.
