Spot and Stalk WV buck
« on: November 20, 2018, 09:15:11 AM »
Just got back from my annual 10 day bowhunt with family back in my home state of West Virginia.  I saw a lot of bucks and deer movement all week - saw the season's first snow, endured some cold & wet days afield, and had an all-around great time.

I actually missed this buck on day one at 35 yards.  I proceeded to see him 4 of the next 7 days...he was taunting me. 

On my last evening, I was headed to my stand when I spotted him tending a doe.  I luckily saw them first and wind was in my favor.  I began to slowly stalk with little to lose.  As fate would have it, I stalked them for 3 hours slowly gaining all the time.  I ended my hunt by putting a Zwickey Delta through the heart at 15 yards within the last 30 minutes of the last evening.

That's the way to do it. Hunt Hart the whole time and make meat right at the end. Congrats.
Relax,

You'll live longer!
