Leecher Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) 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 Leechman Edited November 10, 2008 by Leechman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
