Deer season 2016

[wvmntnhick]

I'm not making excuses. It's certainly not one of the big bucks I was watching on my bow lease but it's certainly better than average for back home. To be honest, I'd have shot just about any legal buck up there. In fact, I missed a 4 point (twice I might add, at a range I'm ashamed to admit) that was pushing 12"-14" wide about 15 minutes before this deer came by chasing a doe. The gun had fallen off a chair in the camp 3 days prior and after the misses, I assumed it was off. This deer came by, i shot and he just perked up and looked scared. Fired again with similar results. Fired once more and then put the gun down assuming it to b a lost cause and didn't want to cripple him. A sizable chunk of time passed and he just fell over. Turns out, I'd hit him all 3 times. Apparently, being amped up on love kept him alive a bit longer than I'd have anticipated. I was tickled to be honest.

Glad you got the monkey off your back. I had a good couple days up there at camp.

To be honest, if it weren't for camp, I'd stop going up there all together. That time spent with a good friend is really all the drives me back to the area as far as deer hunting is concerned.

Thanks fellas. I was back on my bow lease to catch the last 35-40 minutes of light after work this evening. Saw a good buck and almost still think I should've shot him. Back home, he'd have been toast but I couldn't really tell what he was initially as the light was fading entirely too fast. However, if he can make it through the next two days, he's got a solid chance of making it until next year and he should be an absolute monster next fall. I'm hoping so anyway.
