Arrived at camp around 1215 trying to decide what time to hit the woods.  I decided to get ready and get out early so I started my sit around 1240.

For the past several weeks we've had a button buck coming out into the field to feed.  Out rule at camp was not to touch the little guy so, we all just sit and watch him for hours while he ate.  That's what happend this evening.  He arrived around 1450 and ate for over a hour.  I was hoping that other deer would see him and come out feeling safe that he was there.  That never happened.

  He finally had enough and left the field 1605.  Only about 20ish min left in the hunt I prayed that a couple of deer hit the field because I wanted to end this year tonight..  Low and behold 5 min later 2 doe walk out on the field.  I looked at my watch too see how much time I had left...15 min was plenty of time.  I settled in keeping my sights on the larger one of the two waiting for the perfect shot.  She finally turned the right way and I squeezed off the round.  She dropped where she stood.  

Sigh of relief...I got my wish for the season to be over.  Excellent year for me so far.  Harvested my bear, 8 point buck and now my bonus doe.  Filling the freezer little by little.

Opening day and only took 20 minutes to harvest this boy. May not be a huge trophy but it’s my trophy.  672lbs and a rack measuring 37 inches wide.

Got out of the truck at legal shoot time, loaded the rifle and started calling while walking down the road.  Heard some crashes in the woods so stopped to listed.  Got the call going more for a few minutes then stopped, listened but didn’t hear anything.  Continued to walk while calling and next thing you know a bull pops out about 150yrds down the road.  Lifted the rifle to see and target but he took off.

Started calling again for a few more minutes and heard crashing to my left.  Stopped and backed up against the wood line threw off my hat, listened more and waited.  Next thing you see is a head peaking through the high brush 10 yards away.  (Around a table of story telling hunters that distance would be about 300 yards.  Hahahahahah) Rifle up in place already, laid my sight on him and pulled the trigger.  Dropped where he stood.  

Quickest hunt I’ve ever had and very exciting.  For me it rates ALMOST as exciting as bear hunting.

Definitely a hunt of a lifetime

Sat all week not seeing one bear. Last day of hunt two cubs came to the bait with momma no where to be seen until I heard crunching at the bottom of my stand. I let the cubs eat for a while and then they left and momma exited with into the woods behind me.  About a half hour later I was a bull moose moving through the woods scraping his antlers for about 20 plus minutes then left the area.  Continued to sit as dark set in thinking by this time my year was over until I saw a black moving outline in the dark. The bear grabbed the bait back and ran into the woods. At this point I was cursing in my mind saying come back out MF.  Took about ten minutes until I saw the dark outline again. I was all set up for a shot regardless and like a typical women all she wanted to show me was her ass.  Sorry if I offended and women out there. She turn broadside once but was all crunched up so no shot was possible in my eyes without hitting the shoulder.  Turned her ass to me again and turned her head once to the side. I placed my sights at that point and luckily she turned her head again so I took the head shot.  She dropped. I took a deep breath and whispered yes but I saw her moving a little so I chambered one more round and shot her in the chest. I hit the heart on that one.  Squeezed that hunt out with 10 minutes let of legal shoot time

Nice way to end it.   The more stories one collects makes for a better hunting season
