That is what my wifes cousin and I had named this buck. We had both seen him a couple times but tried to stay from him until the time was right. Along with another one in the same area that either of us would be able to hunt in their bedrooms. It takes a lot of boring setting and not seeing but a few birds, couple of squacks all day
.We had snuck in and set our stands to where either of us would have a chance for either one of them, coming out of the beds in the evening to see some girlfriends. Both of the bucks were killed in the same clear cut, about a half mile from each other within 15 min.
Our plan was to sit ALL day.Which I'm not very accustomed to. I'm more of a stalker stand stalker kind of hunter. It was a long and very uneventful day 5:00 . I'm thinking this is about time or they aren't gonna show.
Next I hear the shot. Boom Smack. My thoughts go to Sounds like he got one of them. I look in that direction with no movement anywhere. Next what do I see, but Lickity Split. Just got up and stretched took a step out and vanished. Dang!!!! He made a mistake though. In a flash he jumped into a path and started at me. I'm at the ready. Smelling and looking over his back to where the shot had came from. Very cautious in his mind. He just needs to turn to walk and I can pop him. It seemed like a eternity. As if I thought he would bust, he dropped his head and took his last step on earth not 70 yards from me. With the report of the Howa, he was down.
After a bit I hear a hoot. I return with a hoot. That's our signal. for all clear and one down.. I didn't get to take the pic of the other one till the next day As some Dumb Arse forgot to take his camera with him and had to take one of mine at the inlaws house with with my phone. Anyway this is the two bucks
