horst Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 After one of the most dismal late muzzleloader seasons I can remember I finally got my deer.Three of us spotted 4 bucks in a huge 3 mile section this morning, Ive hunted deer in this section for years and never managed to get close to one in there.Me and my sister in law walked out in the middle and my brother started trying to push them towards us.After an hour and a half of constantly walking back and forth, trying to keep track of the deer, and trying to stay downwind of them they finally walked past my sister in law, she missed and to make mattters worse she even had a chance to re-load and take a second shot which she missed again. The deer headed south and she began to try helping my brother head them back to the west towards me.They lost track of them out in the middle and they walked back towards the road to call me and tell me the deer were gone from the truck.I was sitting in the corner of a fenceline and seen them walk out of the section then I noticed a head poking up over the hill about 300 yards in front of me, pretty soon all four bucks walked over the hill headed straight at me.I sat for another 20 minutes as they dissapeared into a gulley, just when i was begining to think they bedded down one appeared about 150 yrds out from me at the end of the gulley.They turned and headed towards me, 3 really nice bucks and a spike.They stopped about 100 yrds out and I got the gun up and the scope on them but the only one offering a clear shot was the smallest one.Finally I seen a good rack appear in front of him and then a head and shoulder.I put it on his shoulder and pulled the trigger, he dropped like a brick and it was over except for the 3/4 mile walk back to my truck.Luckily one of the farmers had an open driveway behind thier house and we could drive right up to him. He has 5 inch bases, 17 3/4 inch main beams and around a 17 inch spread, comes back around to just over 11 inches from antler tip to antler tip.What a way to end the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
