Bush buck....
-20....little late start....good sign....rattle in 4 bucks but this time I got my hunting buddy parked on a grassy high point to protect me from bully bucks...the place was hectic with bush thrashing....grunts....and then boom....but it was just the start....shot was a little far back....in/out and got the diaphragm liver area...1.5hrs of slow poking through thick crap the hunt was over....now off for mule deerand a whitetail too if the cards all line up....

The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But, I take no pleasure in the act itself. One does not hunt in order to kill, but kills in order to have hunted. Then why do I hunt? I hunt for the same reason my well-fed cat hunts...because I must, because it is in the blood, because I am the decendent of a thousand generations of hunters. I hunt because I am a hunter.- Finn Aagard

Sorry just got back from mule deer down south....not my tag but my sons who just couldn't drop the hammer on what I called two shooters dead to rights at 100 yards cuz there was this one buck that was a gagger....oh well we saw well over 200 hundred mule deer...lots of 160-170 class deer jeepers one morning I had 41 mule deer in a corn field in which three bucks were in the mix....we had the high ground and just glassed and as the light came more deer appeared....great times...beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
The four day hunt ended and my son said to us that was a blast and a great experience....must have raised him right
