Literally 2 skunks passed thru and that was it.
He headed out to the bars to celebrate, and I headed to some public ground 1.5 hrs north.
This is a nice public spot that gets overlooked due to its small size. I’ve put good time in at this spot in the past and have arrowed some does off of it. And have seen some nice bucks on cam I’ve been hoping to cross paths with.
Well it all worked out!
Decided to hunt downwind of a thick doe bedding draw, and it was the right move.
Got my stand and sticks hung and climbed up at 2:40 pm. Was getting situated and happened to catch a glance of a nice buck making a scrape in the thick brush 25 yards away.
A minute later he presented a shot opportunity, and the hand loaded .22 Nosler round did its job.
Quickest hunt I’ve ever had, never got to sit down. [img][img]https://i.postimg.cc/ZW3jNv3b/20254-F16-16-D6-4-E2-D-BD0-F-3-F8461-F4-A455.jpg[/img]
