I've hunted fairly hard w/ the sticks and stones this year with lots of excitement but never a good shot. Hind site 20/20 I probably should have taken a shot or two, but it didn't feel right at the time. Only after the time was over did I think..."dang it!" On the second morning of gun season after a damp opening day, while eating a cheese stick at 8:40am, I saw a young doe, thought it was a coyota at first, coming down the hill at my back w/ head down. There had been some shooting behind me so I grabbed my doe in estrus call and did a couple of bleats. Swollowed my cheese stick
and kept my eye out over my shoulder. Couple minutes pass, I turn back around and get in position, I'm on the ground, like I'd been sitting for nearly eight hours in the past 24 hours, and out of the corner of my eye this guy comes in. Fast, nosing everywhere and needy. He walked behind a tree at about twenty yards and I set up with my Winchester Model 120 that I've had since I was about 15, I should of "baa"ed, cus he was on the move, but didn't and shot a bit far back. He ran about a hundred yards and tunned broard side, this shot really knocked him, it was right in the pocket, Imaculant really. He was easy to find. I know someone is gonna laugh about it being on a car, I've got quite a few that way, but I really shot it. I've got two doe tags and I'm gonna start back w/ the bow for a bit. Freezer has meat, May take out an old .45 cal I've got too. Anyway, he's no Monster, but I'm happy w/ him. Probably the biggest buck I've ever killed. Thanks for lookin, dpg
