Nice South Dakota 10pt Down!
I have been hunting hard since Sunday out here in South Dakota. Yesterday was windy and foggy all day with very little action. This morning the wind was blowing about 25 most of the morning. I get a call from my dad a 9am saying he shot a buck. I get out of my stand to go help with the recovery. His buck ran 50 yards up the shelter belt and died. We got it loaded up and out by 930. He saw two decent bucks this morning, so I decided to go sit in the stand for a couple of hours hoping to catch another buck cruising. I wasn't sitting there for 30 minutes and this guy comes out of no where. I went to draw back and I forgot to push my release trigger forward on my Spot Hogg wise guy and the arrow shot off my string going about 10 yards. The buck doesn't notice and I grab another arrow and put one right through his heart at 23 yards.
I shot the buck in the same spot by dad shot his and he died 20 yards from where his died. This will be one of my most memorable hunts for sure.
The original stand that I was hunting in was where I actually had pictures of this guys(3 miles away!). Just goes to show you how far farmland buck travel during the rut when tree are sparse.
