The worst thing happened This weekend!!!

The worst thing happened this weekend on my deer hunt! As we were driving we spotted 3 small bucks staning on top of a grassy hill! Me and my brother made a plan to have him drive the truck away so they would keep there eyes on him while i made a stock. As i went up the hill they were no where to be found so i started back to the truck and then i looked to my left. There stood a buck over 30 inches wide about 60 yards away with a bush in front of the kill shot. The big buck staired at me for about 4 seconds then took off! My brother and his friend dont believe me that it was over 30 inces wide!!! But i know what i saw and there are times when i see a buck and say that it is a nice one when it is a tiny one but this time its the truth! It was the biggest buck i have ever saw in my life!!!

Utahbowhunter, they sure seem to show themselves when ya least expect don't they?! Sorry to hear it my friend. I think we've all been there at least once and although it don't make it any better, at least ya know that he's still out there.

Yes they do show up when you least expect them especially down way low when usually the bigger bucks are up high on the mountain! All well im going to the same place for the rifle! maybe i will see him again! He will probably be in the same area! That would be cool if i got him Because it would of been my first deer and my picture would probably be on the cover of a magazine or something! that would of been cool. But if i did try to take a shot It would of sucked trying to go find him because it was raining all day. The blood would of washed away.

I don't think it was all that bad. Look at this way, you got to see a beautiful monster muley that will keep the bowhunting embers glowing for years to come. Next time, you'll get an arrow in him. :thumb

You have a good point BOHNTR!!! Ya next time I will get an arrow in him! If i was to shoot that deer i would have to hit him in the spin to drop him so that he wouldnt run because it was raining all day and the blood would be washed away!!!

I still remember the day I saw my first 30" buck. It was when I was 18 and rabbit hunting on their winter range. That buck was all I could think about all summer and that next fall. When the the hunt started, there were no deer to be found. I then later found out about the summer, fall and winter range thing. #-o

Isn't it great how a close encounter like that, Wether it ends with a shot or not, can stay with you clear into the next season. Just another reason why we do what we do.
