IN_hunter Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I finally convinced my girlfriend to go hunting with me last night. I know this may not be a big deal to some, but its a huge deal to me. Just about a month ago I was watching primetime bucks XVI and she came in to watch with me, and the first deer she watched get shot she started to cry. Now she is wanting to get a license and actually try and get one herself. HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!! We got out kinda late, but i knew we would be ok. I found a spot on the ground about 30 yards from where they come out and cleared a spot for us to sit. After sitting for about 30 minutes she heard something in the ravine and i could tell it was a deer. She started getting the shakes like every true hunter gets and i couldnt believe it when she told me that. After we heard the deer down in the ravine walking around for a little bit i saw 2 does come out into the field about 40 yards. I waited to see if more were going to step out and i finally made the decision to take her. She was 25 yards when i laid the smack down on her, and she didnt run 50 yards. I love getting that close to these animals like that, and having her out there with me made it that much more special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_lou Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Congrats. What's the story on the buck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IN_hunter Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 I shot him on Sunday night. I wasnt able to get out to the stand until about 5 that evening. As i was walking up to the stand i just started getting this good feeling coming over me. After sitting for about 20 minutes i started coughing like crazy. Im just getting over a cold so Im coughing quite a bit but i can usually control it so im not so loud. I was coughing so hard that i actually threw up a little in my mouth! I honestly thought i wasnt going to see anything after that, and not even a minute later i saw a deer coming through the woods about 50 yds away. I knew he was a good buck but i was in for a surprise when i found him. After the shot I was worried that i had missed because after the smoked cleared i didnt see him or hear him running anywhere. After i reloaded my TC Encore, I climbed down to search for blood. When i went to where i thought he was there was no deer or blood anywhere. So i started looking around for blood or even the body. After walking about 20 yds i turned and saw him laying right where i shot him, he was further than i thought. He is an 11 pointer and he dressed out at 168. We havent seen this buck before so we know there are much bigger ones out there still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
