First one is my wife's from yesterday morning. I told her if she isn't going to use her tags I wasn't going to be buying hers next year. Well she came in the bedroom yesterday morning and said she had shot a buck. I said fuck off I'm going back to bed. She said that she went up to it and it jumped up! That got me to thinking maybe she did shoot one. I told her to go make some coffee and chill out and after she was done we would go look. I've never seen someone stare down a coffee pot and beat a pot to make it hurry up before lol. She was still amped up (her first deer ever). We go out there and sure enough 40 yards from where she shot it laid her 8 point deer.
Next is my deer. I went out this morning at 5am my kids get up for school at 5:30 my target buck a 10 point with a drop tine shows up at 6 and the kids spook it off yelling and getting ready to wear their costumes to school. So then they leave for school about 6:15. My feeder light goes off at 6:20 then my feeder goes off at 6:30 and I think well the deer are gone! Nope my feeder light goes off again at 6:45 then the deer makes it way back up to the white oak in my back yard at 7:15 then sticks around too long at 7:30 I send a broadhead it's way. I smack it and it walks off I'm looking and listening for a crash but nothing. So I go inside for about 15 minutes then go to retrieve my arrow and there is the deer laid out about 30 yards away from me and his eyes blink so I head up to the porch to give it more time. 30 minutes go by and it gets up and stumbles around and makes its way over to the nieghbors fence, then another fence and makes it across the road. So now I'm thinking shit I should have sent another arrow when it was down. I call my buddy that has a tracking dog to come out and we start tracking. The dang thing made it a half a mile up and down the cliffs of the river before it died. If it wouldn't have been for that dog we would have never found it. There was very little blood. The dog (Zues)went to it like a fat kid at a buffet. My buck has 7 on 1 side and a brow tine and a long curved out blade on the other side. So it's a 9 point. You may ask why not wait on the 10 with the drop to come back in the next morning well my daughter still has a shot at one and I needed to take this guy out of the gene pool before he passed on more of his terrible genes. This deer is about 4.5 and he just now became a shooter as I'm in an after restricted county where the inside spread has to be 13" or greater. I'll post pics in the comment section. If you took all this time to read my stories I thank you.
