Blacktail Buck #2 :))

What a morning. The 3rd frosty morning in a row here, so I just had to get out. My buddy Wilf got down there a bit earlier than me, because I had to drop Diana off at work. I thought Wilf would be sitting in the perfect spot this morning, but it turns out I was :)

I didn't even have my seat set up in the blackberry blind, and looked up to see a doe standing in front of me. I waited for her to pass by, and continued setting up and relaxing in my chair. I then stood up for about 20 minutes or so, so I could see down the field if anything was coming. I got tired of standing, so sat back down. I was sitting there for a few minutes, and decided to reach down and move my quiver aside so it wasn't right at my feet. Did that, looked up, and there standing at 15 yrds smelling the buck scent I put down on the way in, was this huge brute.

Needless to say, :tt1: I got buck fever instantaneously and rushed the shot, nailing him a bit high and right...but he only went 60 yards, stopped,and turned around to look back and figure out what just happened. He stood there for a long, long time, and I was feeling sorry for him, but couldn't get a second shot off to finish him off, without spooking him off. He finally walked slowly to the edge of the field before laying down on the edge of the field and expiring.

Wilf says I have horseshoes .... I think he might be right ..:)
