Weekend Hunt II

[offshore]

No fishing again this weekend so off to the stands we went!! We got a late start but were in the stands by 3:30 today. It had been raining here all day and what perfect timing it was. The rain stopped just as we entered the area we wanted to hunt. Put up in a stand near some oaks very close to a bedding area and my friend put up in a stand about 100yds away. Soon as we were settled in we did a little team calling, Jeff on the doe bleat and myself on the grunt. It wasn't 15 minutes I had this nice seven point come in to investigate. He gave me a clean 35yd shot with the bow and he never Knew what hit him as the 100 grain Muzzy burned right through the bread basket. He jumped and ran about 15yds then stopped. It was all over. We gave each other the thumbs up signal and stayed up and did a little more calling. Wouldn't you know it about 20 minutes after the seven hit the leaves a nine point gave Jeff a clean shot and the buck expired after about 50 yds!! Needless to say it was a exiting afternoon. One thing I didn't mention is that both deer were taken about 400 yds behind the house....Mark

First deer down was the seven:

Second deer down was the nine:
