Hey guys...been hunting hard here with nothing to show but for a valuable lesson learned.
STAY OFF THE PHONE TEXTING WHEN YOUR HUNTING!
Man...I was on the phone texting...head buried in phone when I look up and see white bone and a rump hook a turn into the bush. This buck had to be walking straight at me for a bit and I was pre occupied with my phone. :bang:
1 hour and 40 minutes later...about 500 yards away...my neighbors kid, in a stand on our land(he has permission)...kills this wonderful 8pter, over 100".
Lesson learned for sure. Got some good vid of a small spike that was playing by my stand for a bit. One of our guys shot a yote, nice color on it too. Very reddish. A lot of does got passes this past few days. Oh yeah...got a cool sequence of pics on the trail cam. My son seeing does, rising his gun, aiming and letting them pass...no horns. We are also in a 3 on one side area. When I pulled that card from the cam to get those pics, I also saw that the 10pter is still alive. He is visiting around 2 in the morning.
Heading back up today at noon with lots of leftovers:D.
I have next week off also. Will be doing my best to get it done.
Good Luck team and hunt safe!
