A RISKY MOVE PAYS OFF...

After sitting all morning chasing two of my target bucks that I have been after all season, with little deer movement and no sight of my target bucks, I decided to make a risky move. While I was hunting, my dad decided to walk to a tripod we have setup about 200 yards behind our farmhouse. As he was walking to his tripod, he spotted a shooter buck that had been bedding down in a CRP field. He then proceeded to see this buck multiple times in the area. After he told me this I decided to get down from my stand and drive back to the house. I parked at the house, knocked an arrow and began walking through the CRP field where he had last seen the buck in hopes of kicking him up and getting a shot. After realizing that would be very unlikely, I decided to climb an old stand in a fence row, about 50 yards where my dad was sitting. At 10:03 I sent a text that I was in that stand and I was going to try to get eyes on the buck. At the same exact time my dad texted me saying “look at pond. He’s in front.” I immediately look up and there he is, 20 yards in front of me, heading directly to me. With this stand I was in being only 5 feet off the ground, I was basically looking eye to eye with him. He got to 10 yards and I stopped him to take a broadside shot, but he decided to take another step which put a branch exactly where I wanted to aim. He then took one more step and was looking directly at me. It was now or never, he put his head up and I let it fly. A frontal shot was all I had at that point and I hit him perfectly. He ran about 100 yards and disappeared into the timber. My dad heard and saw the shot and we both had eyes on him. Having to take a frontal shot, we backed out and gave it over an hour before tracking him. We found good blood immediately and I knew he couldn’t have gone far. After tracking him about 150 yards, there he lay!

This was definitely the most intense and quickest hunt I have ever had and I couldn’t be more thankful for the opportunity to harvest this mature buck.

My great morning sit ended by calling in this solid young buck from about 100 yards. Couldn’t quite get a good look at him so I threw a series of grunts his way and he came to me on a string. Hoping he sticks around and makes the same mistake in a few years!
