Incredible hunt yesterday. I got dressed at the office and got on the road. With bad traffic, I got into the stand later than I wanted. I sat a few hours without seeing anything. The wind was swirling and blowing in the wrong direction but I sat and played it out. Just 20 minutes before quitting time this nice buck steps out on the 60 yard trail and starts coming. When he got to 40 yards I tried to stop him with a little kissing sound. He kept walking and went out of view. He disappeared after 65 yards, walking down hill away from me. I had missed my chance. I got a doe bleat call out of my pack and did one bleat and waited. Nothing………. I did one more and waited again. Suddenly he appears on my left side behind a bush at 20 yards. He was looking right at the base of my tree looking for the doe that made that sound. He started walking and I drew back my bow. Three more steps and I sent the Rage through his cage. He took off the uphill trail. I could hear him crashing through the thick stuff and knew he was hit good. The ruckus stopped for a second then started again. It got louder and louder as he ran back down hill on the same trail and took a nose dive / slide into home plate right in front of me. It was over. He was piled up just 5 feet from where he was standing when I shot. Incredible! No need to wait an hour, no need to blood trail. I grabbed the video camera that was still recording (but facing the wrong way) and yelled some excited profanity into it. I called my wife from the stand and yelled some more excited profanity. I got down and walked up on my biggest local buck ever.

Game On………………………………

Re: Buck Down !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Game On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was on my way home from AZ tonight and my phone exploded about Buckhunter shooting a giant deer. Talk about suspense, I had to wait two hours to get home and look at the pics. They were right he is a toad.

Jim congratulations on shooting a great Pacific Hybrid. That deer is always going to hold a special place in your heart and hopefully your wife will let you put it in the house. Again nice job.

Lungpopper.
 
WOW! Great Buck you got there. Looks like you have a pic to use for your new Avatar...... Good Job.
