JasonLester Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I am a bowhunter at heart but gun season started yesterday and the neigboring land is hunted hard. In fact its hunted hard enough I have only seen 6-7 deer this year in all the days I have bowhunted. So opening day I decided to go gun hunting instead of going to work. It was pouring down rain when I walked out the door. I almost stayed home. I figured I'd go ahead and see if it would slow down in the early morning. No such luck. I got in my stand well before daylight over looking a good sized overgrown feild. I got soaked! I hadn't grabed any rain gear as I didn't figure on it raining the whole time. Anyway, I had only seen a couple birds. Nothing else seemed to be moving. I decided, at 8:20 am or so, I'd wait for fifteen more minutes and then pack it up. A few minutes later on my left out in the feild I caught movement. 3 deer. Moving fast. Two headed away from me. Looked like a small buck chasing a doe. But it was fast. The other deer, an average sized doe, circled in front of me. My binos were so wet and I had nothing to dry with I couldn't get a look with them. So I used my shotgun scope but it still was blurry. Deciding to shoot a doe or not I looked for the other two out in the feild. Farther to the left this 10 point was standing pretty as can be broadside. No need to decide if he was a shooter. I quickly got turned and made a 80 yard shot. He went right down but I did not kill him right away. I had broken his back and ended up having to walk up and finish him off with a shot to the lungs. He's my biggest deer and I am excited to have him. Thanks for re-living the hunt with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonLester Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Very nice. OK, gotta know. I'm guessing this is an Ohio buck. What county? Yep, Ohio. Warren county. the eastern side of it anyway. I've seen a few good ones in the past but this is the first time I've had a gun in my hand.

JasonLester Posted December 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I just got done green scoring him. 153 gross nets 150 1/2 only 2 1/2 inches of deductions. That will work I guess LOL :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
