Big Buck Down on 11/1/11

Recommended Posts

Went out this evening and sat in a stand I have'nt hunted this year yet. I put out a buck decoy and rattled a few times with no luck. Shortly after 6 a doe appeared on the opposite side of the field I was hunting. Once she spotted the decoy she fed her way to it. She fed all around the decoy and didn't want to leave, finally at about 10 minutes til 7 she started up a road that goes through the field, she got by some cedars next to it and I noticed legs coming through the cedars. This buck popped out and I immediately recognized him from trail cam pics I have of him. He immediately keyed in on the decoy and started walking directly toward him. I managed to get my bow off of my bow hanger and get turned around (I think I could have danced a jig up in my treestand and he would'nt have noticed, he was so keyed in on the decoy). He started walking stiff legged and circled behind the decoy offering me a 25yd. broadside shot. He never got out of the field before toppling over. This is my first buck since 2007.
