Just realized I forgot the last part of the hunt, the third deer. We pulled the buck out of the slough and took those fancy sunset pics! @SwaggyD took some awesome pics.
We started walking back to the truck, standing in the middle of the field to go Jill a doe in a different spot. We were...
We were both on the same page man. When you get invited to hunt a property that someone has permission on you hunt it however they say. We both were holding out for a stud and it didn’t happen with our limited schedule. I’m glad he made me wait. I saw a ton of deer and all age classes of bucks...
My first white tail and a great time hunting a completely different style than I’m used to. We weren’t able to close the deal on a big one with the limited time but had a blast with @SwaggyD.
With the late addition of the two white tail doe tags I finished this trip with quite the hall...
It was more of a frontal shot, he was facing slightly left. I should have taken photos but the hammer hht absolutely exploded the back shoulder. The entrance hole was between the shoulders. The wild thing that we ended up finding the bullet back on the inside of the passenger side hind right...
I roll over, grab my gun, and slowly start to raise out of the grass and see a buck less that 50 yards. All I see is his head and he turns towards me. I am still in the long grass and Swaggy is right behind me. He turns and goes back towards the field and I law back down on my pack. He doesn’t...
We got back to the other spot and the wind was whipping. We sat for over an hour before a fawn came into the field and then and then a back for a quick flash.
It was then silent for another hour or so and I couldn’t take it anymore. I had been looking at on and wanted to set up with a high...
Today, Monday we went back to the same blind and stuck with the same plan. We saw a number of new bucks each day, very few repeats. At any moment the fields would go from dead quiet to blowing up with deer. We watched a number of does and a few bucks pushing them around in the early morning...
We finished the day out yesterday seeing so many bucks of the 3.5 year old and younger age bracket and a couple glimpses of some 4.5 year olds. The bigger bucks were only making a quick appearance at over 400 yards but @SwaggyD had so many rules it was really more of just deer watching than...
Ended the day seeing over 20 bucks. Only one was a maybe. We watched him most of the evening and will likely be a last day type of buck. @SwaggyD is having me hold out for a big one despite my begging, pleading, and convincing. We are holding out for a mature deer, the headgear is just a bonus...
It was an active morning. I think I have now officially passed on over 15 bucks, it is painful but fun all at the same time. Rules are rules though and I’ll only pull the trigger when he gives me the ok.
We have probably seen:
1-2 yo - 9
2-3 yo - 5
3-4 yo - 1
4-5 yo - 1
The 3-4 year old just...
This whole hunting out of a blind thing is hard work, and so many rules!
I can’t talk, can’t walk around, can’t get out and piss… hahaha
Not sure how you all do this! 😉
Well, I’m rocking to uhaul van, have no clue when my truck will get done, but I’m in Montana and will start hunting tomorrow. Looking forward to spending some time with @SwaggyD and having a blast!
It’s been a multiple go afternoon. I’ve now left billings 3 times to have it act back up. Mechanics finally got it to trip while driving. All kinds of codes went off. Renting a uhaul van and getting back on the road.
