Had a good weekend with a few “nice” bucks killed.
Last Friday my younger son Zac who’s just getting into deer hunting went and killed a nice 5.5yr old. Pics don’t really do the buck justice. He has some serious mass. What’s so funny is he had to yell to get the buck to stop. He had his nose to the ground at a fast pace, lol.
Saturday a friend’s wife called and asked if I was hunting that evening. Her husband had went that morning and saw the buck she’s been waiting on. He was gonna watch their little girl while she hunting, but she needs a little help as she’s 8 months pregnant, lol. She’s about getting to the point she can’t get up in the stand! I asked what time she wanted to meet and of course I showed up to help. She’s my DIL sister, so basically family. Right near dark “her buck” came through running a doe and stopped at just the right spot. This was a 4.5yr old 10pt but neither her husband or I was gonna tell a pregnant woman he needed one more year, lol!!!
Well Sunday was a tad bit cooler and cloudy and had deer moving all day. I hunted until 1130 and saw one of the deer I want a good look at, but he was 200yds away. Looked pretty impressive even at that distance. Her husband also hunted and saw bucks but nothing he wanted.
He’d been getting what we call the Drop Tine Buck on a camera about 400 yards away right after dark and went out that evening with his climber and set up on a creek crossing he hoped he was using. He said while he was climbing up facing the tree he sees 4 bucks dogging a doe. He maneuvered his climber around and gets set up when luckily this doe does a 180 and comes back running straight to the crossing. There were 2 younger bucks and another bigger than the Drop Tine, but he’d made up his mind on that buck. The doe stopped right before the creek and the buck stopped as well. Another 5.5yr old buck which is sorta a main frame 8 I guess. We can’t decide if they’re actually “drops” or just the main beams just curve downward.
Here he is with their daughter.
And yes, I got all their permissions before posting.
It was a great weekend!!
