First hunt of the season

God
Nothing hit the dirt but had some fun!




I woke up at midnight Friday night and I couldnt sleep because it was like Christmas eve as a kid. My buddy Brandon was to be at my house around 3:45 so I tried to nap. I tossed and turned with no hope of sleeping. All I could think of was the sun coming up while in my stand. I finally couldn't handle the boredom so around 3 am as I layed there I turned over and looked at the perdy Mrs. Stink next to me. I thought to myself "whats better than opening weekend of bow season?"

The answer was simple...an early "rut" :love:

In a brief moment of insanity (or brilliance) I woke her up and made her aware of my plans. She mumbled a little bit and then obliged so I layed the smack down upon her!

35 seconds later as I walked to the bathroom for a nice hot shower with my chest all poked out I was determined this was gonna be a good day. :clap:


Brandon got there and we made the drive. We had a good time chatting and I definitely enjoyed his company as usual. About 1.5 hours and 2 "Stinky stops" later we were there. We both got our gear together and walked together hand in hand....naw I'm just kiddin.... LOL through the moonlit cool air.




Around 8am I had a BIG nanny come out about 70 yds and feed away from me...darn, but she sho was pretty. I got down around 10 to slowly make it out of the woods. I took my time and I heard a stick break right near the edge of the trail. As I attached my release I turned to see 2 fat does about 20 steps into the woods froze up and I couldn't move. We did the stare down for about 45 seconds before they bolted and I didnt have a hope of drawing or shooting.

Oh well...

I met up with Brandon and due to his malfunctioning limb cutters he couldn't climb the tree I had the climber set up on so he had to sit the ground. He did say he seen a few deer including one that walked right up behind him and blew his hat off his head at about 2 steps when she made him. I know he needed some fresh underwear then. LMAO!

We done some work around the property for a little while and then made the decision to go meet up with a buddy of mine who has a ton of wild pigs he wants killed. We had a good time at his place watchin foosball, planting a food plot and ridin the property looking for oinkers. We seen a few deer, burned some diesel fuel and drank some beer.

Cant beat that! :beer:



THANK THE LORD ITS HUNTING SEASON AGAIN!!!!



:sun:
 
My wifes brother in-law, me and my neighbor ended up going to a management area about 2 hours from the house and spent the night. Tried out a new blind chair I got after Turkey season.
Had a doe and spike cross within 40 yards, put the scope on the spike and passed. 1 1/2 hour later had a 4 point use the same path, pass again.
At camp that night I recieved greef about letting meat pass and was told to redeem myself.
Next morning moved to a different location, waited till daylight to find a fresh trail.
Set up within 30 yards of the trail. Big ole cow horn around 160 pounds came up, I just looked at him and thought "they all gonna think I'm lying passing up another one". It's now close to 11 o'clock, figured shoot him, go to camp clean him and maybe go home.
On the shoulder, "BOOM", "FLOP".
Folded up the chair blind, went back to the truck, neighbor was there.
Told him we had to go back and drag, his eyes lit up.
We get to the place where he fell, blood, hair and meat, no deer.
About 15 yards away more blood, then a faint trail for 15 feet, no more blood.
We attempted trailing for 1 1/2 hours and almost gave up then found a puddle of blood 100 yards from where he fell. Another 1 hour later, I hated to call it off.
Just don't like the idea of feeding the coyote's.
 
Dang I hate that. We have all been there though. I lost several deer from shoulder shots that were very close to the same story you just told and I went back to double lungin em. If you put it through them ribs they might run a little but they are dead..PERIOD.


Better luck next time!

ya'll need to bring some rope when ya;ll go hunting to tie the deer to a tree so they cant run away after..j/k
 
ct, he was about close enough to do that.
Stink, there was a pine planting he was comming thru with limited shots, figured it was a no brainer planting the 30/06 there.
Actually walked up to him and looked at him, then went and took the stuff to the truck, took off clothes (hell, we had a ice box that morning, got down to 45 degrees) and returned to no deer.
Will make sure the tongue is sticking out from now on! (usual past perceptions)
Lost a couple of deer before, makes you feel like you have failed at a promise or something.
