BIG ol okie buck down

Unread postby huntinsonovagun » Mon Oct 08, 2012 2:02 am

Friday I had intentions of hunting a new spot I had scouted out in the spring. We had a major October cold front come through and I really anticipated good movement for my first hunt of the season. I worked long days earlier in the week so I could get off a little earlier to go hunt on Friday. Well, at noon I get a call from my best hunting buddy saying he's got 5 older bucks patterned that need to be shot (he's a property manager for a hunting club). I was a little hesitant at first because I was really excited about my new spot, but decided to give it a try and save my spot for another hunt.

I packed in my brand new Lone Wolf Alpha and set up in the same tree with Shane. We were set up by 4:30. Sometime around 5:30 I saw a buck running across a pasture headed towards us, all I noticed was the huge body! Shane identified him as "the slick 5" but he ran into the timber.

Shortly after 6 a doe popped out in front of us and this big sucker came out shortly after. He began feeding right towards us and Shane said "take him if you want him.". Again, all I noticed was the huge body! He looked like a 55 gallon drum! I though he was going to be right under us, but did feed out to about 10 yards away, quartering away, at which point I plugged him! The Slick Tricked punched right through and I saw blood splatter as he mule-kicked on impact. He bounded out to 37 yards and stopped- I just knew he was about to tip over, but he just stood there for 2 minutes! I could see my exit on his armpit and couldn't figure out how he was still standing! Finally I just put another arrow in him and he bolted. I knew he would last long because both arrows could have been better placed. I crisscrossed his lungs. We waited it out until 7:30, trying to double up, but allwe saw were some other 3 year old ten pointers and some does. He's got an amazing place to hunt out there and I had a blast. Not bad at all for the first hunt of the year!

This is by far my biggest bodied deer. He dressed out 181 pounds, which is gigantic for this part of Oklahoma. He doesn't have much in the rack department, but his age and body made up for it in my mind. I'm thrilled!

That's a heck of a five point and a good friend.
