Hoosier Hunter Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 This morning I got up at 5:30 and was in the stand and ready at 6:30. At first light, I hear what I'm pretty sure were deer running behind me. We have the buddy stand set up on the side of a stripper hill. The wind was blowing straight toward the deer so I'm guessing they got whiff. It was pretty slow after that. Finally, after falling asleep a couple times, I hear something behind me. A lonely hen. By this time I had heard 40+ shots around me and I was dieing to see a deer! A little after 10, I was almost ready to go but made myself try to wait out all the other hunters and maybe get something spooked toward me. Then I catch sight of a deer across a pond in our woods. Seeing the sun shine off the horns, I knew it was a buck. He comes around the pond and heads right for me. After looking at him through the scope, I decide I would take him if he offered a shot. He stops at around 40 yds and I let him have it. He ran around 50 yds and dropped. The shaking set in after I shot, I could hardly hold the phone to call my brother and Mom. I got the shot on video but I didn't get him walking in. I think you can also see him drop. Overall a good morning! I'm definitely happy with my first (antlered) buck! Trailcam pic of him. Right before the shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
