Archery Deer
John have been hunting the last several weekends down in [location deleted] on your previous advice on good places to scout out. I had been in there scouting and had found a lot of buck sign. Over the course of six days of hunting over three weeks I seen sixteen different bucks. Had several encounters with some really big deer but something always seemed to turn them at just the last minute. Even had a fork horn one day mount my doe decoy and despite my yelling at him he rode it until he collapsed it to the ground. Had never had anything like that happen to me before. Yesterday didn't get in until 11:00 am as I have noticed that most the buck movement is from mid morning to mid afternoon. This brute came walking down the trail right under my deer stand at 3:30pm and gave me a 10 yard shot. After seeing the deer hit solid I watched as he went out about 50 yards and fell over. What a great, great hunt again, this was everything a bow hunter dreams about all because of a quality Assc. that gets the right ground to hunt for it's members. Thanks for all you and your staffs continuing hard work.
