Title: michigan bucks
Post by: Boone the Hunter on November 26, 2009, 07:19:00 PM

My brother shot his buck and had some really good rut action, that got me a fired up to get up at 3:30 the next morning and drive an hour to a piece of land I had a good feeling about and set up a new tree in the dark. At first light out stepped a beautiful 8 point in my downwind, after a 5 minute standoff he had enough and turned to leave, I drew and buried my arrow in his ribcage at 25 yards, he ran about 90 yards and was done. Funny thing is as I was sitting and enjoying the morning some other hunters came right by my tree doing a drive (gotta love gun season) they looked at me like I was a nutjob hanging there in my plaid shirt with my longbow, they were twice as shocked when i told them I had just shot a nice buck, very funny. Anyway I thank the Lord for another great hunt.

I live over in Ada, I hunt around here a bit, the buck up top was south east an hour or so in the lansing area. What part of town are you from?

lol..right here in Grand Rapids. Downtown Grand Rapids.

I hunt in Allendale, Caledonia, and Cheboygan. I shoot at Grand Valley Sporting Goods in Allendale.

You ever out that way? We have a traditional league starting up this Friday. Should be a lot of fun.

Nice bucks!!!
 Seen some like that when I hunted southern Kent County a few years back before M-6 was built.
 Ever hit up Cannonsburg SGA or Ionia SGA. Some good deer in there if you dig a little.
