opening day whitetail
Finally after reading everyone elses stories and seeing their pictures I can write my own. Well me and a couple of buddies took last wednesday off work and figured we would try and shoot a deer. We get to the spot 20min before legal light and start walking in. I had a good idea where the deer traveled in the area so I was hoping to get to the bush entry spot before the deer did. But as soon as I got 300 yards away I see a few white flags hopping away. So that plan was foiled. We regrouped and decided to do a flush through a thorn patch. I got out on the west side and they went to the east side. I was about half way through when I seen my one partner waving at me. I thought he was just letting me know where he was, so I just carryed on. Then 50 yards away out ran a coyote between us then a doe and a buck shortly after. I took a quick shot and missed. We were a bit disapointed but we carryed on. We walked the river banks for 5 hours and flushed a few does but they ran to fast to get a shoot at. At about 3:30 we decided to try another flush through the thorn patch before heading home. I droped my one partner off at the sw corner and the other at the nw corner and I went around to the east side of the bushes. No sooner did I get out of the truck did I here a gun shot and see a doe run out the south side of the bushes. I started to walk towards my buddy that I thought let off the shot. He was about 150 yards away. I got there and he said he shot at the doe and missed. As we were talking my other buddy was still walking the south side. We then noticed a movement in the bushes. So I headed back east to cut it off. Then out ran a buck, my buddy yells "mulie", I yell back nope whitetail as I follow it in my scope and get it lined up all in a matter of 5seconds then bang I pulled the triggar. Down he goes 60 yards away. Yelling and high fives all around first deer down with new used 30/06, on the run to boot. shot him right in front of the hind quarter. Not the perfect shot but he went down right away.
