mrswtnhunt Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hey guys, been a while since I've been on here, have missed all of you. I got my first deer in 2 years. So here is the story, I was sitting in the stand watching a doe and fawn feed in a clover plot, I had been watching them for about 20 minutes and the doe comes to full alert and looks to my right. I look over and here he comes, he is on a B-line straight for her. I could tell he was wide and pretty tall and knew he was a shooter, I reached over to pick up the muzzleloader and slightly banged the barrel on the railing of the stand.....UH OH...the doe instantly turns and looks straight at me and so I freeze....meanwhile the buck is steady coming and is only about 25 yards to be broadside straight out in front of me. My mind is racing, I can't move cause if she sees me and takes off so will the buck. I just wait a few seconds and then the doe turns to look at him....In that millisecond I pull the gun up, get it to my shoulder and find his vitals in the crosshairs and BOOM, he ran about 45 yards and stopped, swayed back and forth a few times and hit the ground.....OMG...I was shaking so hard, The doe and fawn never left the field until my hubby got back there with the tractor to load up my deer, they kept feeding in the plot. Anyway, here he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Camera was acting up, did not get great pics. Biggest bodied 6 point that has ever come off our property, deer was pushing 200 lbs. A lot of fat when I was skinning him out, bad winter on the way? I was hunting about 3/8 of a mile away from where she was hunting, had watched a buck chasing a doe about 5 minutes before I heard her shoot. Buck I saw has two main beams on one side, thought she might have got him. Was obviously not the same deer I saw. Glad she went to the stand I was going to hunt. lol. Way to go! Your season is going better than mine for sure! Congratulations! Me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen_Brockman Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Congrats!! I'm still waiting for something to walk my way so I can fill my bow tag. Saw a buck chasing a doe last weekend, but she turned before they got to my stand. Damn does :-) Great job!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Could not get over the body size on her buck, he was a good bit bigger/longer than the deer I killed Tuesday. I could not get his nose off the ground when I was skinning him, had the come along as high as it would go. The inner loins probably close to a full pound heavier than on my deer. Neighbor up the road who processes deer said he thought my deer was probably 140 dressed, which is about what I figured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
