Second Mountain Buck (East TN)

Unread postby Footballer » Tue Nov 26, 2013 1:29 pm

After not hunting for two weeks, I had to make up for lost time. I set up about 100 yards from a bedding area overlooking a logging road leading to and from the bedding area. Also, the spot I chose had a deep cut below the logging road which funnels the deer even more.

About 9:00 am I grunted for the first time this season. About 5 minutes later I look up and catch movement. As luck would have it, this 11 pointer was working his way around the edge of the logging road. He then proceeded to rub a bunch of trees and actually knocked a small sapling to the ground. At this point, I knew he was at least a 3 year old so I decided to take him. At 80 yards he gave me a broadside and I made it count.

Unfortunately, he ran straight down the mountain and died in the nastiest place possible. I actually had to quarter him and pack him out. I wish I had better pictures, but I didn't have anybody to take them for me!

Overall, the good Lord blessed me with one of the best hunts I've had!

Sorry for the low-quality picture:

Good job on the dandy buck.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Nice looking buck. Packing them out of a rough area isn't easy.

Good looking deer, they always seem to die in the nastiest places don't they.
