My New Years Eve Buck
I was not looking forward to tag soup for the first time in 20 years. I hear it is not very good unless you really dress it up. It was not for the lack of field time but I just could not seem to get deer in for a proper shot this season. I started to wonder how hard I should kick myself for letting the first few ones walk, hoping something was bigger behind it.
This morning it was all or nothing, I situated myself against a tree in the middle of a nice thick bushlot loaded with deer tracks. A doe quickly passed on my left about 80 yards away. Behind her was this nice small racked 8 @ 2.5 years old. One grunt had him curious and coming my way. The 16 yard shot was deadly and the Rage 3 left the snow painted red for a smooth recovery.
I want to thank Patti for her help and being a great hunting partner.

Nice! There is just something about hunting in the snow. Now if we could use xbows in the U.P during late season.

A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

Re: My New Years Eve Buck
That's a nice way to end the season!
The problem I'm having is that both my Buck tags are filled and that's all I seem to be bumping into now! Where were these Bucks back in November

Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison; And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die. Gen 27:3-4

Nice...........
Tried hard tonight but couldn't get r done.
Warming up with a few cold ones to kill the taste buds. May make the soup taste better...........

If the thrill of the hunt is lost, then I have lost.
