Title: Buck Down
Post by: Boogieman509 on October 18, 2017, 10:13:04 PM: Started my season Sunday afternoon. GMU 124. Im fortunate enough to have an uncle with a nice piece of land 10 minutes from my house. My deer adventures on this land is more of a harvest than hunt. Basically sit in the blind until something walks out in the alfalfa field.
First afternoon I counted over 30 doe pass through. 1 forky and two spikes. Very entertaining to see the sheer amount of animals.
Next morning I was in the bin at 5:00 am. Sat around until light and there wasn't an animal to be seen. Not even a squirrel. Erie silence. 8:30 I see movement from 9:00 and thought it was a bit doe 350 yes out. As it began making his way to towards me it was evident it was not doe I thought was. Walking with head down i ranged him at 215 yards out. Put the rifle on the sticks but decided to wait a bit longer. He kept coming until I could wait no longer At 165 yds i let the 30.06 fly. Knocked him down and he two kicks to the sky. My best buck thus far in my short youtube taught hunting career.
Now if I can figure how to put an arrow in a cow elk during late season I will consider myself a "hunter".
