preacherman Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Been a very empty deer season for me here in Mississippi. Weather has not really been good all year! I have seen a few deer and have had opportunity on a few; but have let them walk. Then Sunday night, I had a guy call and ask me to go with him. I met him at his house at 6:00 a.m. on Monday morning, he said, "I will drive you in!" I thought, "oh, great!" there goes my hunt. He drives me all the way to the shooting house, makes all kind of noise and then finally leaves. I get in the shooting house and get settled.........and in about 10 minutes, I hear something to my right.........still not daylight. I said, "Well, I know it is nothing!" I hear it again and still shrug it off as nothing and then out of the corner of my eye I see a tail flicker! I said, "Wow! A Deer!" It looked like a doe, but I couldn't see real good. Finally it walked a little further and stopped behind a tree and all I could see was it's hind end. I was watching it through the scope and it turned to go back in the thicket and all I could see was horns! I said, "Oh no! I have just let a buck walk!" I could see him zig zagging through the thicket; but never could get a shot at him! Well, we had thunderstorms all afternoon and really bad weather tonight; but the weather is supposed to be perfect in the morning! I have been invited to come back! So, I am going back to that stand and hopefully get a crack at that buck again! He was boogered when he left, so He will be back.........I just hope it will be in the morning! Wish me luck!

Zambo Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Good luck Scott. Remember it only takes one minute out in the stand to have a successful season. You need to be out there when that minute comes along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearClaw Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Good luck, all it takes is the snap of a twig and the hunt is on! Actually, be careful, the big ones can sneak by without the snap! Let us know what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
