danthehunter Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 It took me 23 days of hunting. The story goes, It was the Thursday before gun season here in IL and I had hunted basically everyday in November. I needed to shoot something or else I was going to go crazy. Around 7:15 AM I heard a deer running behind me, I turn and look and it was a 2.5 yr 8 pt. that ran right in front of me. 20 yds behind him was this buck, I only caught a glimpse of him before he got in front of me. When he ran past, I was at full draw and decided to pass on this buck, thinking he just wasnt what I was looking for. He got about 50 yds away and stopped, facing away. I grabbed my binoculars and realized I had made the wrong choice. The only thing I could do was grab my True-Talker and see if I could turn him around. Sure enough, I hit it a couple times and he turned right around, the only problem was that now he was downwind at 35 yds. He started to get my wind and I knew it was now or never. I had a few limbs in front of me but I thought I could thread it through, I touched it off, and I was wrong. I hit a limb, but to my surprise, he had no idea where the sound came from, and he came running right back to me. He stopped at 25 yds and I hammered him. He only ran about 70 yds and crashed. Very exciting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
