He was the 20 th buck I saw in 21 days of bow hunting.(I let 8 ,1 1/2's and 2 1/2's forkies and 6 's walk.) I saw the 21 bucks in 21 days bow hunting. I saw a nice 5 1/2 ,10 point about 60 yards that morning while waiting a hour to take up the blood trail. I grunted him closer but he circled and got down wind 30 yards . I heard him leave in the leaves.
I've been really hurt from a fall bow hunting on the 12th that morning. But could'nt stand it any longer and when WED. morning but only saw 6 doe's walking back the 1/2 mile to my house. It have to been a nice one for me to even try to pull my bow.
Our rifle season stays into till tomorrow so I'm taking my youngest son BRIER (12) TO TRY FOR HIS FIRST DEER. We went last SAT. Just hunting fields from the truck. We saw 18 doe's he shot 5 times and has'nt hit one yet. My fault they were all 250 ,300 yards. He really doe's shoot OK but I told him in the morning it 100 yards or closer.
My luck he'll see and kill a nice one. There's 5 shooters 4 1/2 to 6 1/2 all in the 130's. And thier was a 6 1/2 12 point 7 1/2 this year but hav'nt see him since this summer out in the beams.
I hope to be able to hunt our second rut. MID DEC.
