11/12 hunt

[Vincent Vega]

Well, having not seen any rut activity whatsoever to this point, but having a new big buck show up on camera just after dark last night, I decided to buy one of those arisol cans of doe pee today. Emptied the whole can on the way to the stand this afternoon. Saw a few does and a handful of young bucks throughout the afternoon, but nothing big and nothing paying any attention to the doe pee I sprayed. About 5:40 I see a buck come across the orchard and start zig zagging through where I sprayed that stuff. I got binoculars on him and saw he was good enough size that it was easy choice to shoot him.

That's when the fun began. My girlfriend was hunting with me and only gets to go a couple times a season due to her schedule, so it was never an option for me to shoot it.

Light was fading fast and she couldn't spot him and he wasn't standing still long in any one spot. So there was much confusion as I tried to help her find the deer and then get it in her scope. She finally spots him and gets him in the scope. I let out a grunt with my grunt tube and he stopped at about 125 yds broad side. As sooner as he stopped, she dropped him in his tracks.

Not sure about score, but might be bigger than anything I've ever shot and she just got her first two bucks ever last season. I couldn't be more proud of her. We think it's a 4.5 yr old buck and it's the only deer I've seen so far this season that was over 2.5 yrs old. He weighed just under 240lbs. I love hunting the second weekend of November and it usually pays off. So happy she finally got a taste of why I like this weekend so much.

And now that I've bored y'all to death, here's the pics your all waiting to see...

GReat deer and congratulations

Congrats on the deer!
My Daughter decided that she didn’t want to hunt at all this evening. I never push it on her, so I replied “okay, just remember not to get upset with me when I show you a picture of him standing in front of our stand.”
Sure enough, you know who decided to show up at 5:30……

Good stories and pics. Congrats to all

Nice bucks y’all.

24…..I hope your Daughter learned her lesson…haha…..maybe next time.

I had the same scenario last night….couldn’t even get into my ladder before being surrounded by young territorial bucks.

Only saw one shooter doe that snuck into the woods all charged up, head high and looking for love as I was jumping out of my truck from work.
I was in the woods ten minutes later.

I may try my sisters place tonight…..been a month since I was in there.
