Seen 7 total this evening 1 buck was pushing a mature doe. Had one come in at dark when I was about to head out. He looked like a shooter but it was past legal light.
I had a good(I think)buck cross the creek behind me but it had got so dark down in the bottom I'm hunting by the time he got to where I could get a shot I couldn't tell exactly what he was so I let him ease on by.
Might have messed up.
I'll try it again in the morning.
Good job to all those that busted one today!
Had a mysterious in under my tree tonight under a leafy walnut branch.
could see much for long and it vanished.
Saw a couple playing chase ten min before that.
No success tonight but was beautiful surrounded by all the different colored trees….heaven.
Whew...no pic cause I am exhausted. Shot a doe at 358 yds and best I can surmise, 9mph N wind may have been swirling or doe quartered to me as I shot. Hit slightly low, opening her up and exiting through rear breaking her left leg above joint.
She fell 25 yds and I left her for 30 mins. When I got there, she jumped and ran 100ish yds to the woods. I waited 45 mins and got Becca to track. Becca bumped her another 140yds into thicket. I had to put her down with my pistol once Becca had her pinned down.
Needless to say, I field dressed and drug her out of the woods and under thicket at times while crawling. I am whupped.
51...getting too old for this...
Dropping this one off, eating and turning in to rest before heading back at 5am lol...who's with me?
