lil hunter Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Welp, today was opening morning here. I got up early and went to the stand. I was ready for no more than 5 minutes, when I hear a deer. I look around and see a little buck.(it's pretty dark still, can't see much) He walks around for a minute or two, coming within 10 yards of my stand, I see that he's a small 8 pointer.He leaves. A few minutes later another little buck walks out, this one a fork horn. He walks around a while, and leaves. For the next hour, these two bucks come and leave about every 10 minutes. Then I hear something. I look over a see a NICE deer at about 50 yards. He's kinda walkin away, but beds down. The 4 pointer comes out and walks around again. Then the big buck gets up, and walks the other way. About 15 mins later, I hear some crashing in front of me. At about 60 yards, here comes the big boy. he gets within 30 yards of me, but even though my ML is good to a hundred, theres too much brush in the way and I can't get a shot. The little 8 pointer walked out again about 10 mins later. After a good half hour or so I here a BOOOOOM. I knew it was my dad. He said he only wanted to shoot a big deer, so I also pretty much new it was the deer I saw. Yup, it was. Turns out he's a nice 8. 9-10 inch G2's. 4" brows. 6"G3s, only 12 inches wide, but has about 18" main beams. Not too bad if you ask me. If only I coulda shot it. I didn't see a single doe all morning. I'm goin back to the same spot tomorrow. I'll shoot the little 8 if I see him. It was so early today, i didn't wanna end my season already.
