Wil's Youth Day
With the forcast for a little left over wind and rain we decided to hunt a box in the woods with a pretty good lane right and left. Not much early, at Mid morning we see a big doe to the left crossing lane. Too far and too quick across then almost at same time two family groups on the edge of been field at the other end of lane, not too far but too quick across. Then we spot rear end of one that crossed lane about 50 yds down. Had two different spikes visit a corn pile. Really the only shot opportunity, but waiting on a good buck. Then a nice wide 6 crosses lane. No shots in am and with the bucks moving we decided the lane was not going to offer a good shot. Went for some lunch and to check on Popsy then back to a hidden field with an old sunflower patch, clover patch, and a oats with winter pea patch. Really suprised no deer until a button buck steps out at around 4:15 and and then momma...A big saggy chest Doe at about 90yds...plans where to wait on a buck, but since Wil was entered in a big deer contest for youth day and they don't get much bigger than this in our area Wil takes the shot. Looked like a good hit so we waited to see what else would show. A 4 pt came out a little later followed by a good 8 as light was fading that was pretty wide, yet the tines looked a little short. He walked toward us and we where glassing him trying to make a decision when he turned and went right where the Doe that was shot went into woods. No shot taken. Well the the 7.62x39 did its job as usual, and there was no problem finding the trail. Man that little bullet is bad..bad. Wil is bound to get a good buck soon since for a 9 year old his patience and willingness to pass on smaller bucks has been amazing. His time will come. Did not win the contest, but doe weighed in at 92.5 lbs think he got second.
