Last night in hill country for the year. Got setup by 3, there was one already up on its feet as I climbed in.

Good luck all

Well everything worked out perfectly like I planned. At exactly 4:30 pm I see a BIG bodied deer headed my way but couldn't see the head. No doubt a mature buck. I dropped to my knees and readied for the shot. As he came behind the shield in my previous post I came to full draw still not seeing how big he was but ready to kill anyway. As he cleared the opening I saw a big blocky head.......WITH NO HORNS!! :doh:

I let him pass confirming he really was a mature shed buck. Shortly after I see another bigger body headed my way but obviously slightly smaller than the last one. This time I had my bow ready but didn't draw back because I saw no horns. Of course he was obviously a shed buck too and probably a 2 year old.

Just my luck but that's how it goes late season. I have been struggling the last few weeks so I look at it as a good way to close the season. Being that close on the ground to a mature buck was really cool.

Time to move onto next season so scouting begins immediately. There is no such thing as an offseason. ;)

What a bummer Dewey :cry:
Still gotta feel good knowing your plan and ground set worked, though.

Both would have been dead deer. Had no clue I was there. 8-)

I would have video but the cold zapped the battery in my Tactacam. :angry-banghead:

That is unfortunate ending, but a great hunt none the less.
As a newer member I've really enjoyed your hunts throughout the season!
Thanks.

Tyler and I are in SD once again. LAST DAY for a nice fat doe! Going to drive around at first light and spot check. Hopefully put a few to bed and set a well placed trap this evening!
