A mid november Buck. I already posted this one elsewhere on Excalibur but I think this one qualifies for the TROPHY ROOM.
11 point weighing in at the butcher at 285 pounds. Needless to say this was a very exciting outing.
Not sure how many other hunters do this, but I used to hunt with my Dad until he passed away 10 years ago. Everytime I go hunting now I think of him and quietly talk to him. I also had a brother who was a prankster and he passed away 5 years ago.
So when I do think of my dad when hunting, I talk to him as if he is dogging for me. I let him know where in the field I am sitting and keep saying,"ok Dad. Send a big one this way." Well this year after talking to him, an 8 point buck walks out and makes his way across the field. I tried to rattle this guy in but he just kept walking. My excitement was disappering as quickly as the buck was.
I thought to myself, Ok brother Doug, I know you are up in heaven just playing with me. Then I said "OK Dad, bring me the big buck". Half an hour later, this big guy came walking out. This time the rattling worked perfect.
After the buck was down, I knew that my Dad, although has passed away, was still dogging for me!!
Thanks Dad..................
