Guest SwatsWife Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I am the wife of Donnie (risingsunoutdoors) and I thought I would come on here and post my buck story. We were given the opportunity to hunt a new place close to home. I was feeling pretty optimistic and excited since we had not yet harvested anything from our lease in Kyle. We headed over to the place and arrived right about 3:45 and had to wait for a couple of does to leave so we could get set up. They finally left and Donnie set up the lucky tent blind, lighted a Tinks Smokin' Stick and we both crawled into the blind and started to get settled. I began to joke around with Donnie saying that watch this a nice big buck is going to come out I will make the perfect shot and you don't have the video camera. Just my luck that we would only have the camera rolling when I miss! Well in the process of saying this joke, I look up and all I can see are some horns coming over the hill. We had not been in the blind more than 15 minutes. This nice 8 point buck came in and began to eat some corn, not off the ground but licking the corn off the spinner of the feeder. We watched his backside for quite a while and then another buck joined him for supper. This nice 8 point finally turned and gave me a shot so I took it! Perfect placement! He ran about 30 yards down the hill and crumpled up. I was glad to finally get something but sad that we didn't catch my perfect shot on film. It seems that we have caught a few goofs on film and not my good ones. It was all fun and put meat in the freezer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SwatsWife Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Way to go Tammy. and a big welcome to the forums. I just wish my wife hunted Thanks for the welcome! I actually haven't always hunted. I grew up in a gun hunting family and never had the desire until Donnie got me into the blind and I watched him take a nice looking buck with his bow and my first comment was... "When do I get a bow". I have been hooked ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SwatsWife Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Congrats on the nice buck and welcome to the forumns. My fiance' is going to start hunting next year with me so i am looking forward to it. Being in the stand with a loved one is the best. I love hunting with my husband and actually began to miss it when he sent me off on my own. I am glad to be in the blind/stand again with him.
