I assume you saw a BIG ONE after you shot yours. :))
:thumb
ok Tuesday night, my pops and i go out scouting and find this huge 3 point and we thought that nobody would run into him cause of the area he was in so we left him alone till morning. Well i dont know if you heard about the murderers that excaped from the jail in Manilla but they have swat and helicopters and planes all over the place. So opening morning i go to check out if the 3 points still were he was the night before and as i thought he was there undisturbed. well i wasnt able to get a shot since he was so far away so i decided to put a stalk on him. Just as i was getting in to shooting range this helicopter came flying over the timberline and circled me about 2 or 3 times well when it did this deer scattered all over the place running anywere they could. Well i was P O'ed after this event so i decided that i should probaly take the first two point that i seen since im probaly not gonna get a chance at a big one with all the commotion. So i head back to camp with my head hung low really ticked off that i wasnt able to get the big one. Well after a while i head back out to this area that ive never been in before but i decided i would check it out. When i got there not a thing but i had a feeling that i should probaly sit there a while and hopefully a buck would pop over the ridge. About 20 minutes later i was just about ready to leave when i see about 30 deer run over the ridge. So i get out my binoculars and look to see if i can see any bucks in the group and out of the group theres 5 bucks, 3 spikes and 2 2 points. Both of the two points were about the same size so i just chose one out of the 2 but they were about 300 yards away. So i stalked them to about 100 yards when they busted me. They ran about 20 yards then one turned back to look at me so i thought that i better shoot before he left. So i pulled up and made 120 yard off hand shot right through the lungs. Well i knew he wasnt gonna go to far cause i seen him draging his self and stumbling so i walked to about 80 yards and put another one through his liver. He was down for good. Well after i packed out my buck and loaded him on the 4 wheeler i was driving down the road and all the sudden i hear . KABOOM!!! then a quick WHOOSH! and see a bullet fly 6 inches in front of my face. Well i dive off the four wheeler and hide behind it thinking its the excaped convicts shooting at me. So i pulled out my Glock just incase it is them and look over the four wheeler and see two old men walking towards me. So i dont think there any threat so i put my glock back in my holdster. Well they walk up to me and say "Oh my gosh im so sorry, we couldnt get are guns to fire so we set up a paper plate in the sage to see if it would fire. We hope that didnt almost hit you" well after a couple of minutes of telling them to use a hill as a back stop and not my head i left to hang up my deer at camp.
The End
Good grief, the IDIOT old hunters part didn't and doesn't sound good at all! :nono: :nono:
I enjoyed the rest of the story, look forward to the pics.
Sorry the Chopper ruined the bigger one. But if/when they catch those losers it'll be worth it.
2nd glad your still with us to tell us your story! :nono: that is crazy! glad you weren't leaning forward!! too scary!! but I have to admit I chuckled when you said you thought it was the escaped convicts!! that's like a scene out of a movie!
can't wait for pictures!
Second, the helo story was pretty amusing. Good thing they didn't mistake you for one of the escaped convicts.
Lastly, it's a good thing that you were patient and allowed the old guys to explain themselves! I'm afraid if I was shot at and then turned to see two guys walking toward me with rifles in hand I MAY have started shooting back and asked questions afterward! Glad to hear that they missed ya though!
Congrats on your first deer. Mine was a big ol' spike. LOL You could squeeze his antlers and the tips would touch. :)
Glad you're OK.
Congrats on the bucks. MY first buck( as were the other posts) also was a spike and boy was I 1 happy kid. come to think of it my first 3 or4 bucks were spikes or two points. Well... Good job. hope your pops connects.
Congratulations on get you first buck !!

Great looking bucks. And that is a fine looking muzz you got there. :thumb

Congat's on your two point, but i bet ya wish ya had that coveted Book Cliff's tag so you could hunt your "secret hole" huh? :))
The one I got is about the same size as the one under my name (2X2) (**!!) well at least I know the gun works :thumb
Oh well, those dogs knew how to find food, they ate down about 5lbs of elk meat each off an elk rib cage and neck that was laying back behind our camp in the bushes....they'll be ok for a while.
