Randy Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Yesterday afternoon my best buddy went out to our land and went bowhunting. He climbed in his stand at 1:30 pm for the evening hunt. Not sure if anyone remembers but last winter I cut a shooting lane through one of our thickest bedding areas knowing that the bucks would be cruising it come the rut. He chose to sit in that stand even though we had just went through it trailing a doe I had shot Sunday evening. The stand is in the furthest big pine to the left in this pic. Anyways, as soon as he climbed in the stand (which no one had sat in until this point) He could hear some movement in the bedding area. We see turkeys in there almost every night we sit in this area. (different stand a 100 yards down from here) After a while of listening to the noise in the brush he knew it was a deer. At 3:00pm out walks the buck and in a matter of seconds he was at full draw waiting for the right shot to be offered... 10 more steps and he's mine thought Mike. The great buck moved just as Mike thought he would and Mike carefully settled his pin on the buck and THWACK!!! The buck went straight down. Mike knew he had spinned the big buck and carefully sent the finishing shot to the vitals. Mike had shot one a few years back that he had mounted and someone had stolen his mount. Mike deseved this buck, and is his biggest buck to date and it couldn't have happened to a better guy. Congrats bud, I'm truly happy for you... Here's Mike big 11 point buck he killed on 11-11-08.

Rem308 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Wow, I'm very happy for your friend Mike too...great looking buck. That's an awesome idea about clearing a good shooting lane through a bedding area like that...may have to give that a try up here after season ends. A monster 11 point taken on 11/11/08. I think if I were him I'd be in the same stand on December 12th!! Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
