hoytman26 Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Let me just start off by saying, its been a long 2 years. I shot at this deer in 05' and have been hunting him ever since. Saw him once in 06' and got him, finally this past Monday. I went in to my stand and made 3 scrapes on the way and set my buck decoy up at 25 yards. It was crisp, cool, and very quiet and I heard him coming from about 90 yards. To make a long emotional story short he presented a 41 yard broadside shot and I hit the lung way back, but he only ran 100 yards. Thank you Jesus. I am so blessed to get this deer. I scored him at 167 6/8. 10" tines, 26" main beams, and 5 " brows. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowcountry boy Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Now that's persistence. Way to execute too, you must have been jacked after putting so much time into one goal, I probably would have had a heart attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoytman26 Posted November 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Yes he did come into the decoy, but not until I grunted at him to get him fired up. He was 60 yards away from the decoy and then I grunted twice at him and he came in. At first I couldnt get a shot on him but then he turned and started to circle the decoy and shot him at 41 yards. He postured up and layed his ears back and then he had a rage 2 blade in him. I'M PUMPED!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
