Story starts yesterday about 1:00 pm
Heckuva deer trail crossing the gravel to a standing beanfield. I take a stand and wrestle it for near an hour,just couldn't make it do what I wanted,so back in the truck ,back home.
Got a 6 gal bucket from the shop. Grabbed some primer,tan and black,quick camo job to cover the white.
Went back about 3:30,parked down the road,slipped into the wind and snipped a few branches and trees to make a quickie blind.
Wanting to shoot a nice doe for meat,then concentrate on the bucks. 4:30 6 pt comes outta the tall grass,works his way along my fencerow,passes at 6 yds. I'm thinkin,this may work after all when the fat does show up. He goes to the road(30 yds)and comes trotting back by at 6 yds,the trail is 6 yds out from my big tree ground blind.
At 5:00 I stand for a while,there is a branch with leaves that will catch my top limb,so I twist it over another branch,rustling and snapping a twig or two.
I look West,ahhh,here comes the fat doe,nope,its the 6 again. This time he comes in the brushy fencerow with me,passes at 8 feet,looks me over and walks strait out to the trail,dissapears across the road.
5:20- I glance toward the road, a bigger buck around 120ish clean 8 pt,is standing looking across the road. For some unknown reason,he heads strait toward me ,I am in near full view from that way. They are supposed to come to the road,not from it!
He passes at,you guessed it, 6 yds. I let him go,may regret it later,but probably not.
The owls start the serenade,which brings on the coyote howl. About 5 packs lite up in different directions.
I hear something toward the road again,it is a yote,angling by at 30 yds. I watch him go,and hear something in the weeds the other direction,I'll be damned,another yote. This one passes at 20 ft. I slip my bow around the tree and draw as he clears. The 600 grain arra with a Delta on his end takes him off his feet. A little forward,thru the shoulder. A few snarls and biting the arra in 3 pcs,and he is done. Took the pic this AM while lookin for my broadhead,which I never found....
Sorry this was so long!!
