11/4/16 Hill country slob

Unread postby BigHunt » Sat Nov 05, 2016 11:43 pm

Where do I even start it's been a long successful season starting in Spring I killed four toms, connected with a public land bear up in Minnesota and now to top it off I just killed my best bow buck 2 date. It's been a long bow season for me just when you think you got it figured out your slapped in the face with reality. Hunting is a humbling experience I've learned more this year than I ever have. It all came together for me last night. I started getting trail cams pics of this buck last year is a two and a half. This year he showed up and he completely blew up. He went from a 120

,to a 150 class in one year.

I've been waiting for a Southwest wind to go into my favorite funnel on the property. I headed west early Friday morning and arrived in Western Wisconsin at about noon unpack my truck and headed right out to the stand. As I was walking in there was two fresh scrapes that were open up with no leaves in them. Also there was a few clusters of new rubs. Time went on and all I seen was squirrels squirrels squirrels ..ugh lol I was just dozing off into space and all the sudden to my left on the other side of the valley I heard a really low deep growl I quickly sat up and my ears panned back and forth like a whitetail. Lol
It was obvious that there was some heavy chasing going on on the opposite side. I grabbed my grunt call and I started mimicking the buck after about 5 or 10 minutes went on I didn't hear nothing. From all the squirrels making the noise I was sick of turning my head to look to see if there was a deer suddenly I heard a stick snap right behind me and I said to myself that's no squirrel!!!! I stood up turn around and here's stands a doe 30 yards from me. I focused on the doe and noticed there was a bigger deer standing behind her I put up my binoculars and the first thing I saw was his Flyers. Instantly I went into hunt mode grab my bow and readied myself. They came through a little pinch point that lead him right to me. the doe passed by my stand at 3 yards!!! The buck was hot on her Trail. The buck stood behind a tree and I drew my bow he stepped out at 4 to 5 yards I stopped him and let the arrow fly. It was perfect. He crashed off on a dead run. His head sank further and further as he topped the horizon. Last thing I saw was him rolling then a big crash!!!!! I could not believe what just happened. Predator TC was hunting some public just south of me. I called him up right away and told him what happened he said don't go look wait for me, I'm on my way. I waited the long hour for him to arrive. We picked up the blood right away! He only went 100 yards!!!!! No ground shrinking here boys! Predator TC was just as speechless as I was. We both sat in aw and took in the moment!! I'd like to thank tc for all the help this season. He kept me on track when I was down..all it takes is one sit!

Congratulations again man. Tyler talked about this deer a lot this year after getting the first trail Cam photo. He always sent me all the photos of it, but when we walked up to him, we were blown away. The buck was way heavier abd just all around bigger and more unique than any trail Cam photo had made it look. Just a slob!!
