First Buck

Unread postby fishlips » Thu Oct 11, 2012 5:59 am

Here is my first buck with a bow. Don't care to admit how long I have bowhunted...let's just say my hunting skills could use some improving... I actually shot this deer on September 22, but haven't had time to post.

This guy came from a piece of public land just down the road from where I grew up. I never actually scouted the spot from the ground, but spotted when I was out fishing this past summer. I checked the aerials and guessed that the deer bedded on the west side of the island (island was surrounded by cattails). He didn't show up until just before dark.

The tactics from the Marsh Bucks video defiinitely worked. I definitely am looking to apply some of the same thinking to my gun hunting when I go hunt a more bigwoods setting up north (basically scouting a lot more and trying to figure out where these animals live during the day).

The little guy in the back is my future hunting parnter!

Will be heading out to try to get a EAB sticker now. Good luck to all.

PS...I had posted one before and I couldn't find the post...so sorry if this is a dup then.
