Great day on the Farm!

Unread postby Lookin 4 Pny » Wed Nov 09, 2011 7:31 am

I have not been active on the forum much but I know the kind of hunters here and thought you would enjoy this story. 2 of my buddies and I were hunting a farm in SC Wisconsin last week. Deer sightings were slower than expected until Friday the 4th. At 8:30 a.m my buddy Bill called and said he had killed the Big 8. I was very excited for him as this buck had eluded us for a couple years. About noon I caught movement behind me. A big buck was approaching slowly coming off a small crp field. I was able to identify him as the real Big 8 as he approached. The buck turned around and I was able to put a good shot on him. I promptly called my buddy and told him I had killed the big 8, what the heck did you kill. We met at our camper and went to retrieve the bucks. We got to his first and he had taken a nice 9 point we called kicker. We then headed up the hill to get my buck. I had indeed killed the big 8 and we were both pumped. 2 big bucks in one day is pretty incredible for our group. As we were taking hero pics of my deer the third buddy calls. I can tell he is shaken up as he whispers "I just shot Droopy" Not sure if I did a cartwheel or backflip but I was pretty excited that we had our third buck on the ground in the same day. Droopy was a buck we had never seen on the hoof only nighttime trail cam pics. We retrieved Droopy and celebrated as any of you would. We average 1 maybe 2 mature bucks a year between the 4 of us and to take 3 in one day was incredible. Sharing it with the good buddies who helped manage the farm is even better. Just thought I would share and wish all of you the best of luck the rest of the season. Now that my youngest is sleeping through the night I hope to be a regular here once again.

Don't get no better than that.
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.
