Had some good luck

Post by Meathunter13 » Thu Apr 15, 2010 3:57 pm

So I usually disappear and re-appear from time to time on this site. Most of you know me the new guys might not. I haven't posted any of last years photography or successful harvest pics. I have quite a bit of catching up to do.

The Story... So I scouted these bucks all summer.. got them on pictures and video. Was really hoping to get a shot at one of these boys in velvet. My brother showed up a few days after season started. I had some close calls with some nice ones, but the one I was holding out for just didn't give me the shot. The first day my brother was there I told him to sit down and not to move until he was ready to draw on one. About 30 minutes later I could see him sitting in the open while I was trying to bring down a nice 10 point... what the heck, I put him in a prime spot and he can't even sit still?!? Well about 10 minutes after sitting him down there he shot this one at 6 yards. He was just sitting next to it when I walked up to ask him why he can't follow instructions. To say the least his first muley with a bow will be hard to beat. And his brother (ME) is giving him the second best spot to sit this year and not my spot again!!!

The buck he got was no. 3 on our list of ones we wanted... at 6yds he wasn't one to pass on though. This buck was tied for first on my list
