I bet when you were a little boy, you called the bullies names in class & then ran home to momma to keep from getting your ass kicked.

Thinking that perhaps this was where that buck made his mistake. There are a couple lessons in that sentence. Obviously many different ways to arrive at the ending of having a picture of a successful Deer hunt, and methods can vary with ones location. However, for us from the East, that is a great example of Whitetail hunting at its best. Unfortunately with tree stands-many that resemble mini-camps with sliding windows, propane for heating and cooking and even a few with a bed-having found fertile soil even here in the birth place of the Whitetail, fewer will experience such an accomplishment. Keep the tradition alive. Last edited by battue; 09/02/11. laissez les bons temps rouler

Certainly not in the class of skybuster's father's deer but I was happy with him. I killed 3 bucks in consecutive years within 100 yards of that knoll and somewhere in the neighborhood of 7-8 deer in the same general area. Unfortunately it is now a clearcut.

He was walking dead away and started easing left behind a bunch of Hackberry trees, so I couldn't get a shot. I back tracked and eased out on a finger ridge that was above him and parallel to what I thought would be his line of travel. Had some luck as he actually passed below me about 75 yds in a bottom. Knowing the lay of the land you are still hunting is a big advantage.
