Thread: Got one with the bow

Got off work at 4pm,and finally made it home by 4:45pm.I got a quick shower,and headed out.2 people were near where I wanted to go,so I went to a back-up spot.The wind was real calm as I slipped up the tree.I was ready by 6pm,and 5 minutes later I saw a small 4pt or either spike feeding in the 2 yr old clearcut.

I watched him off and on for nearly an hour.I had put out some golden estrous,and was hoping it would pull something in bow range.About 7:10pm I hear something behind me in the thicket.I saw a deer bird dogging around,and had a good feeling it was a buck trying to find the source of the estrous.1 minute later a 5pt (no brows) steps out 8yds behind me,and to the off side of the tree.He then walks under my stand within 2ft of my tree!

He stopped to smell around...a whole 2yds from the base of my tree!I tip-toed around in my stand and got turned around.I drew back on him,and he turned broadside.I found the spot,and tripped the release.He ran 20yds in a circle,and stood 12 steps from my tree,and fell over!That was INTENSE!...LOL

BTW he does count on my harvest card.He wasn't taken on a special WMA hunt,but I did get him on a WMA.

Here he is..

Thats awesome PLP, I went this morning and was up and ready by 0620 not 10 minutes later I heard some noise Sure enough I had one to my left and one right under me but it was still TOOOOOO! dark I was hoping that they come back but no luck. I will be back soon, G-9 is awesome

p.s. acorns are falling like crazy

Way to go PLP! Thanks for sharing the story and picture.

The look on your boys faces is priceless

Good Shootin!

Good job Randolph! You've been knocking them down this season! And to think people laugh when we use estrous this early.....this is proof!
