MUDRUNNER Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I managed a decent buck Saturday that i thought i would show off. With a full moon and warm ,windy weather my expectations for our first shotgun season were not high.I bagged a fat nanny on opening morning, and had a 150" 10 pointer 60 yards behind me that just would not give me a shot. I seen one other small buck all day Friday and that was it. Saturday morning came and brought in heavy fog, which in my experience does not help deer movement at all. I never seen a single deer all morning, and at that point was just feeling happy that I shot a doe on Friday. Saturday afternoon brought more of the same....wind and no deer. Normally I hunt out of my lock on stands that I have up, but needed a change of scenery, and the twig of a tree that the stand I had been hunting was rocking me to sleep. I hardly ever use my Summit climber any more, but I lugged it out and put it up about 150 yards from where I had been hunting. Then at around 4:30 I here some leaves crunching and really don't put much thought into it, since what seemed like a hundred squirrels, have been acting like idiots for over an hour. This time I see a doe moving across the ridge....then I hear leaves crunching behind her and this dude pops up. He walks towards me and stops broadside at about 60 yards and I give it to him and watched him tumble down the ridge. He's not the biggest buck in the woods, but too good of a buck for me to pass up. He's a little narrow, but his right G2 is almost 13" long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 That time of year, those leaves crunching had probably better be paying attention and not rule em out as squirrels eh. Kind of had a similar experience last Wednesday and glad I peaked behind around me. Very nice buck mud. Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
