Saskbuck40 Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 This morning i decide to take off to my area despite the warm weather. I took off from home at 6:00, and got to my area at 6:30, and sat in my usual hot spot well before sunrise. Within a half hour the sun rose. By that time i counted 5 different vehicles, and heard over a dozen gunshots. I thought to myself, this plan is simply not going to work. So i got back to my truck and drove in a roundabout fashion to another area in hopes of seeing some deer. By 8:00 i didnt see one deer. This was quite rediculous since usually by this time ive usually seen quite a few. But, considering my luck couldnt get any worse i chuckled to myself, turned on the radio and kept on truckin. A few minutes later i arrived at my other hot spot and sat down in my blind. As i just sat down and was in the process of putting my clip in my rifle i opened the front window of my blind. Heres a beauty, wide, 161 3/8 whitetail staring straight at me from 40 yards. How i didnt spook him getting in the blind i will never know. Shell in chamber, gun up, scope on him, bang, buck down. After green scoring he went 161 3/8 gross, and 159 2/8 net, and an impressive 20" spread of main beams and 22" greatest spread. The taxidermist has got some work to do, and pics are on the way; probly wont be real quick but i'll post em soon enough. Moral of the story, never take hunting too serious, and laugh at a situation if need be. Today i was unimpressed to say the least but my good fortune came. Just another good time in November.

Tominator Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Re: Whitetail Tag... Filled Nicely. Man, do you know what you're doing to us poor southern hunters by shooting a "ho-hum" 160? Good job bud. Looking forward to the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
