Public Land Kill

Unread postby Basinboy » Wed Jan 09, 2013 1:18 pm

Hunting a wma near home all week. I passed on a spike the first evening and saw a hog the next morning but didn't get a shot. I was trying to figure out where them bucks I got on trailcam were coming from so saturday I went deep in the swamp. I found an oak ridge between two pond/sloughs.
Image
There was a trail a foot wide and fresh scrapes down the ridge. I got out of there and waited for an easterly wind. Monday's forcast showed ENE. So I paddled my pirogue over a half mile down a slough, then walked almost another half mile.
Image
Hung my stand 10 yards from that trail and settled in.
Image
The green heads were pouring into the long slough to the east all evening. Around 5pm I looked over my shoulder and saw a couple deer crossing the south end of the pond. They were headed to the ridge. I lost sight of them for a while, then I hear leaves rustling and grab my bow and get ready. Here they come on the trail. A big doe with two yearlings. She gets right in front of me and I pick a spot then draw. Next thing I know the arrow was on its way. A clean pass through behind the shoulder! Gotta Love It! She ran 30 yards and stood there stopping her foot, then fell over :)
Deboned her on the spot and packed out.

Very cool.
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.
