dartonman Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Went to a new stand I put up two weeks ago on the edge of a woodlot..at 528pm...all **** broke lose. I had a doe really bleating, and she had 7 good bucks chasin' her, and beating the heck out of each other...I heard snort wheezing, then bucks growling, and of course chase grunts every few seconds....the doe ran off, and a tight rack ten point, that was rolled early in the fighting by a huge drop tine buck, came wandering past my tree, tongue out, panting like crazy. I bleated to get him to stop, and heres where it got weird, I dont know if it was fate, but when I had him broadside, somehow I ended up hitting him mid neck, and it going hard and deep into his lung cavity. The buck tore into the woods, only to run past his victors that beat him up before, yep...they chased him to his death...he was the easiest to track.....blood everywhere...and chased till he dropped..it was a horrible day for him, and a lesson learned to slow down and make sure I hit em a little farther back...Ill take better pics to provide in the morning, he is cooling in the truck on ice! al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 Fun time to be in the woods right now for sure. Congratulations Al. Look forward to seeing your pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 yea share those pictures with pride! we want to see them. that sounded like an awesome hunt and definitely one you won't forget. i've heard a lot of vocals in the woods, but haven't heard a snort wheeze. i don't think fights get too intense around here as often though. too many does that bucks don't have much competition.
