Thought some of you crossbow guys may be interested in this one. I don't post to much on hunting since it's something I would rather do than type about. I got off work at 6am and was home at 7am. Put on the scent suit and camo and in the woods at 7:10. Just ground hunting sitting behind a tree with a bank to the right.
At 7:15 hear this guy moving up the trail so I spin real quiet to his direction. He has been wearing the trail out, first day I was able to get out and hunt. I figured it was a doe trail with a whole lot of them using it because it is about 5" deep. We have had so much rain lately the little trail was a muddy ditch, couldn't really make out tracks in it to tell how big the deer were.
He pops out behind the bank 5 yards away and I send one his way. He runs about 35-40 yards and slides to a halt. I walk back to the house and get the scout. I was only about 100 yards from my back door. Loaded him up and took him 2 miles away to the processor. Back before the wife woke up. So my hunting, field dressing and in the cooler was 35 minutes. This is the first buck I have shot in 10 years or so, I usually go for medium does. He just was at the wrong place at the wrong time and I never used this bow before, had to try it out. I think this is the sorry one that keeps on stealing my fruit. So I guess I get the last laugh.
