Well I am sure plenty of you were in the woods this past week just as I was. I hunted every day morning and evening. It was a very tiring week. The weather was horrible most of the week and the deer movement on my farm showed it. I saw a few small bucks and does and was averaging about 2 to 3 deer a day between 2 sits. My high day was 4.
Well on the very last night I got and invite from a friend and without hesitation I accepted. I figured some new scenery would be a nice change in pace for me. I got to the farm at 3pm which is way later than I like but I would be hunting a field stand. I got in a tripod that was obviously made for short little people *lol* It wasn't long and I had my first opportunity at a deer. A Pibald 6 point that was almost all white. I know the deer well and he got the pass. a while later I had a doe come out and she left just as fast. I was very worried about my wind since it seemed to be swirling. After that I had a button buck come to the corn and I watched him eat for a long time. I was very content and happy with my hunt. I looked at my phone and I had 2 minutes of shooting time left. I decided to hit the grunt tube a few times. I honestly looked up at the sky and said " what the heck here goes my last shot for 2015 rut " I blew in the grunt call 3 times and then paused. I blew one last time and put it down. I looked left and here he came on a dead run right at me. I could see he was tall and heavy. Plenty of horns so I took a shot at 67 yards and down he went. All I could say was WOW. I was very blessed and humbled at the way I got to end my 2 weeks of vacation. He had 8 points and dressed 192 lbs. I am still smiling!!!
