RMS Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I hit the woods today at 1:00 and the winds were howling at 20-40. The forecast called for diminishing winds by 3:00 and I had a feeling the bucks would be on the move once the winds calmed down. At 3:00 I was checking the football scores on my cell phone (Vikings beat the Giants, a win is a win) and I looked to my right and hear comes a nice buck. Last Thursday I had a 120 8 pt. 30 yards from my stand and couldn't get a shot. Tonight he's in my garage waiting for the trip to the meat processor! Not my biggest but he's a great buck and will make some great jerky and sausage. The buck worked his way to within 15 yards of my stand and freshened a scrape that has been dormant for a couple days. The spot I was hunting this afternoon is my favorite. I've taken 4 great bucks off this stand in as many years, it's a funnel that bridges the oak flats to the swamps and the crop fields beyond. When the buck started making his scrape I was at full draw and had to wait about 2 minutes to get the shot I wanted. The new Slick Tricks did the job and the buck only went 40 yards and crashed onto the logging trail. Needless to say it was the easiest recovery and dragging job I've had to make. Pics will be posted tomorrow, I didn't have a photograher and I want to wait until it's light out. Just wanted to share the great news!
