Took three shots with the TC today. First two were high but reasonably tight for off the box side of my truck. Dropped 12 clicks and third shot looked good.
Two months into the season and my buck tag is still in my pocket. I’m hunting a lot and have seen a lot of bucks. Have passed a lot of 2 1/2 and younger bucks. October 18 I had one of my target bucks inside 40 yards but I couldn’t get a clean shot. Have seen two or three other big bucks but no shot.
Decided I better knock down a doe for the freezer and I knew the one I wanted. Although the foodplot in my backyard is loaded with doe every evening there is one that travels with in a group at one of our leases with two younger doe and a couple yearlings. Multiple times during bow on that property she would find me and blow at me.
Around 9:30 this morning the group appeared in front of me at 30 yards. The yearlings came out followed by some older deer but I waited. Sure enough I saw her long face come through the brush and I shot her. Pain in the butt recovery through wet swampy terrain and a long drag to where I could get the quad to but got her loaded and out by myself. She won’t be blowing anymore.
