Successfull Deer Hunt - PB

[Leecher]

Hello everyone,

Been a while since I last posted a report and let me tell you, I manage to bag my personal best this season.

Got up there Oct 31st and this is the view from the camp that greeted us.... What a beautiful place

 

 

and the view of the camp

 

 

This would be our home base for the next 8 days.... we strarted right away scouting our hunting area and did not look too promissing no tracks to be found. Deer was not moving but on Sunday afternoon, found some fresh tracks. Got our hopes up Deer was in the pre-rut.

 

Came Monday, my brother missed a buck that came within 15' of him, just could not shoot it because the deer saw him and scoot out of there in a hurry

 

On Tuesday, had something behind my tree stand that sounded like a doe but could not positively identify and that was it...... Got me all pumped up

 

Managed a couple of pics of my tree stand when I got there

 

 

 

Wednesday morning was the same except , at around 10:15am, this huge buck decided to hit the road and walk towards me Got the blood flowing for a while until it got within 60 yards from me. Took aim and release the trigger...... BANG..... Dropped him right in it's tracks Sorry for the blood on the neck but it's where I shot it.

 

 

A couple of shots with me and again, sorry for the blood

 

 

 

Back at camp, another shot of my PB

 

 

It weighted 152Lbs empty, 14 1/4" in length in between the main beams. 8 Points..... Got him on the grunt call.

 

Hope you enjoy

Yep, what Brian said...it's part of hunting and your title aptly warned people about it.

Thanks misfish.... that was the only shot I could take from that bucks position.... thank god I went to the range on Friday to try out the riffle before the hunt

 

Yep, what Brian said...it's part of hunting and your title aptly warned people about it.

Great stuff....congrats on the PB....must have taken hours to come down from that high!

 

Thanks Cliff.... it sure took / felt a long time for the buck to reach the 50-60 yards range.... just thank my lucky stars he gave me this opportunity

 

WTG Jacques. You did good. I'm glad you had a good time and a PB to boot! That countryside reminds me of Buckingham when I used to go there as a kid.

Thanks Roy.... the minute we arrived is when I started to decompress from the city stress and to be able to bag a PB was bonus

 

Nice job!
