Post by Hoss »

MAN Im upset with myself..I went out today and was walkn really stalkin down and old oil rig road and it took me an hour to go about 200 yds...I was doing good but got lazy was tired and started to walk faster cause i hadnt seen any deer where (I ) wanted them to be.... and then BAM this nice buck jumps up about 100yds from me ( the wind was swirling) and High tails it....Ifn I had of been a little more careful I might of had a shot...Blackpowder season..I guess i coulda shot but he was leavin away and I think he thinks I didnt see him so thats a low level busted kinda deal..He will be back but he will be lookin for me..I know...but i will be readyer next time...

Ok fellas let me have it I deserve it...what a dumb A$$

Thats the thrill of it, it may be another year or two before you nail him. The thrill will be even greater. He is an educated deer. Dont let up when in his teritory. Good luck.
If it feels good, DO IT.
