On opening weekend my hubby went out deer
hunting and didn't see anything but one doe
on that Saturday, but when he went back the
next morning it was a completely different story.
He waited around until about 10 or 10:30 and
didn't see anything so he got down out of his
stand and started across the field back to the
house and was confronted by a VERY disturbed
buck (probably 2 1/2 yrs.) chasing a doe in heat
and my husband was in his way. The buck was
stomping and grunting and just wanted Steve
out of his way so Steve jumped back up into his
tree stand and blew on the grunt call to see if he
could get the deer back his way....and what came
out of the woods was the BIG ONE!!! Steve said
that he came out of the woods pretty quick and
just sniffed for the doe that the other buck had been
chasing and took off back towards the woods. He
just stopped and turned for one quick look back
for that doe and gave Steve the perfect shot.
This pretty boy is a 12 point 211 lb. field dressed
beauty that is 5 1/2 yrs & definitely going on our wall.
If you live anywhere around Indiana then you
know that's an awesome deer!!! We have 100 lbs.
of meat for the winter and I'm so proud of Steve for
getting this gorgeous deer, thanks hun.
