DU_man_84 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 NOT. I went out last night for the last night of archery season. We do have a CWD season for my county that you can archery hunt this weekend but cant make it out this final weekend. Any ways go out last night set up on a new spot i scouted to see if i could wack another doe. Get settle in around 1:00, sitting around seeing nothing bout 2:30 i hear some noise behind me, i put texas hold em away on my phone and look back about 50 yards and all i see is a pure white rack, a buck bedded down,i take a look at this deer and he is an awesome buck, polished white rack, real tall, real wide, biggest buck ive seen in my archery career, he was prolly a 150-160 class deer, buck of a life time, well after i watched him for a good forty-five minutes i here something and i see this buck get up real fast and take off towards me, well when he gets up about 30 yds straight to my left, i didnt even notice cause i was watching the bruiser another little fork gets up and takes off, well right behind him here comes this bruiser about 20 yds off my left tearing through the woods and right by he goes couldnt stop him, after the deer are gone outa sight i look back and here comes another bow hunter walking through the woods, he spooked them up, the hunter ended up cutting back into the woods and dissapeared to where i couldnt see him so i stuck the next 2.5 hours out hoping to see this buck but just seen some does before shooting light but never got a shot, and that was the end of my season, great way to end the season, im so mad, i guess thats life when you hunt public ground, but im hunting a spot that nobody and i mean nobody has ever hunted, but someone happened to be there that day, im so disgusted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoytman26 Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I had that happen to me about 6 years ago on our private land. I was watching about an 120" 8 pt and he ran off with his tail up and I thought how did he wind me? 2 hunters came out of the woods about 2 min later. I asked them why were they leaving at 8:30am and they said sorry got to get my girl to her soccer game. I said why did you even come out this morning? I was PO'd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DU_man_84 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 well earlier this year i was hunting my bosses land, but after i quit working for him for certain reasons, he decided not to let me hunt on his land, so the last part of the season i was hunting out at starved rock, thats where i saw the bruiser, but yeah during the off season we can definately get together give me a pm sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
