ftgbowhunter Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Finally I killed my biggest deer to date. It all happend on Dec. 3 here in the northeast part of Oklahoma. I had been hunting very hard up to the morning of this kill with little success. I had only had 3 chances at bucks, but I made a vow to myself and my wife that this deer season I wouldn't kill any small Bucks, I did manage to shoot my first coyote though, which was awesome, But anyhow on dec. 2nd me and my brother decided to hunt a piece of property that we had not hunted since the beginning of muzzle loader season. It ended up being the best decision I had made all year. So we hit the land at about 5. 30 am and set ourselves up for a morning hunt. Not 10 min after daylight I noticed 2 deer step out on the wheat field, both were does. The does stood around for awhile and no bucks showed up so I decided to fill my doe tag, ka boom, I dropped the biggest one in her tracks. Well we went and got the truck and loaded her up. I figured she was probably 100 lbs. We checked her in and cleaned her up, and decided to go back out that evening. At 3.00 pm we pulled back up to our property and noticed that there was already deer in the same field I had killed the doe in hours earlier. So we flanked the deer and set up on the back side of them. Hoping to catch them going to the bed. We sat and sat and sat some more with no sign of deer. Then about 10 min before dark I seen a huge buck crossing a clearing through a timber line. And sure enough he stops, so I get my gun on him super quick and ka boom, I MISSED! So disappointed in myself I went home and played it over and over in my head. Well the next morning I went by myself cause my brother had other things he needed to do. Contemplating where to set at, I chose the same place where I had missed the big buck the night before. When daylight cracked I noticed 3 deer come through the clearing, they all were does. After they left i sat for at least a good hour with no sign of anything. Then finally I seen a deer on the edge of the clearing. I pulled my gun up and looked through my scope and it was the same buck that I had missed the night before. I eased my gun up aimed and ka boom, he dropped. I hoped up and went to him and realized I had just killed the biggest buck of my life. And my first wall hanger. He's a main frame 9 pt with 2 kickers, so I called him an 11 pt. I'm super happy. My whole deer season finally came true. Hope you like the pic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntinsonovagun Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Congrats Justin! Nice buck. Do you have private land to hunt in FTG? Who's doing your mount? Good to see some old buddies putting some big bucks down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftgbowhunter Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Congrats Justin! Nice buck. Do you have private land to hunt in FTG? Who's doing your mount? Good to see some old buddies putting some big bucks down! Thanks Ryan. I'm having Jason Delue in Okay do the mount for me. I have 400 acres of private land in between Fort Gibson and Okay that I do most of my hunting on. Except turkey hunting, I usually hunt turkeys on public land in Cherokee county. To this day I still have not killed a turkey. I hope this spring will be the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftgbowhunter Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Thanks guys. Any idea on what he would green score? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntinsonovagun Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Jason has one of my deer right now. I think that deer would score 115ish gross. Have you been hearing as many gobbles in recent years? I used to spend my entire turkey season in Black Hollow on Gruber, but the turkeys are gone. I used to hear tons of birds, went one day last year and didn't hear a thing. I've killed most of my birds up north in Nowata county. Still hoping the birds on Gruber will rebound. I love hunting them in the hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
