So let me begin saying, I have been a member on this great site since June of last year. I have read post everyday, searched back threads, asked so many questions, bugged Dan to death, as well as a couple others with numerous messages....TRYING to learn as much as I can.
Fast forward to this evening on the new property:
I cyber scouted this piece of land for several hours. Glassed several times until I felt comfortable of trying a sit.
This afternoon, I had a 3.5 year old 8 point, 17" wide maybe 120 inches walk EXACTLY out of where I assumed a buck was bedding. Once out of his bed, he munched down some green honey locust pods, very slowly made his way across in front of my setup at 13 yards browsing away. I didn't shoot him as he wasn't the one I was after. I never seen another buck this afternoon.
I planned my entrance and exit out to where I had VERY little intrusion. I just hope nothing cuts my scent trail during the night tonight. I am planning another sit tomorrow afternoon, and most likely will hunt the same area.
I just wanted to post an update of my progress for two reasons....
1. This is the very first time I applied the Beast method and had success!!! It feels as good as a kill to me right now.
2. If anyone reading this is a new member, that is new to this method of hunting it works!! It isn't like instant pudding and takes some dedication and planning. I had several instances where I was "close" last year.
I WANTED TO PRESONALLY THANK DAN & THE MEMBERS ON THIS SITE!
The hunt I did this evening was very gratifying. I am very thankful to all you guys to help me understand the method enough to at least be in the game. Now maybe over the next few years I can get where I can begin laying down some slobs!!!
