Yes! It was a good afternoon for sure, awesome weekend as always when Paul invites us out to his beautiful place. Had a great sit Saturday morning with a close encounter with Paul’s target deer.  Saturday afternoon came and I set up Barney the decoy with some coaching from Sam on what seems to work. Y’all saw the results he had with one last week!  I had Barney out around 30 yards off to my right. Anyway, about 30 minutes before dark I see movement off to my left around 70 yards. Just put glass on him and he was a perfect mature cull buck and was on a bee line for Barney. He closed the distance in what seemed like an instant and as he passed a bush about 15 yards directly in front of me I drew and as he cleared the bush I took the shot slightly quartered away. The wood arrow with a single bevel Zwickey found its mark and I watched the buck spin and run maybe 50 yards before going down. That’s a great feeling!

Sam, always enjoy your posts and stories.  You have mentioned the use of a hat camera. Would you please share what you use and provide some reviews on overall general use of them?

Great shot and a great job Donald!  Great having you and Sam out (as usual). 
Hope I can get on that 10 pt. before some rifle hunter shoots him on another ranch.

The hat camera is a knock-off action camera it called a Ekin ( not sure I spelled that right) it’s only $54 on the big internet store. It comes with everything you need and works great. I just drilled a hole in the bill of my hat and found a screw that worked and bam you got it. I will do a thread on it...

Saw the big 10 (target buck Donald referenced) yesterday afternoon...unfortunately, he was standing on the road on the way to the tripod I was going to sit in.  He looked at me for about 30 seconds and then ran off.  I think he and I have determined that he is smarter than me and now he's just having fun making me miserable.  Saw the 130 inch 8 point this morning but passed.   :knothead:

Wow! what a great year you're having,.... I'm sure there's a lot of folks that would be happy to harvest that many animals in a lifetime!!

I could retire in that cabin, sweet setup
Bragging may not bring happiness,
but no man having caught a large fish,goes home through the alley.

Yes sir the cabin is an awesome place to spend time , I spent the night out in it last week and saw 14 deer while sitting next  to the wood stove...

Thanks again everyone , I’m a very fortunate man to have good friends that let me hunt on their land...
