Chick, THATS MY DEER!!!!,,, LOL :D

Let me set the sceen.

Chick and I hunt on the same hunting club here in east tx. We have a major creek, (if you want to call it that because it's shallow enough to walk across with knee high boots),  that runs through the club and we each have a spot on each side of the creek almost straight across from each other.

Long story short, Three or four days before that picture was taken I had that deer at 40 yds coming right too me. I had the bow at ready with the release on the string waiting. On his travel path he was going to walk behind some brush 20 yds form my stand and that was when I was going to draw. He was doing like all big bucks do, walk a few yards and stop, another few yards, stop, etc. He was just starting to move again and some knucklehead started banging away at squirrels on our boundry line a couple hundred yards away. He froze. I thought if he goes this way I'll still have him at 15 yds, if he goes the other way I'll still have a 25 yd shot. After what seemed like 10 minutes he did a 180 and went back the same way he'd come. Just my luck.

The next day he came by on the other side(Chicks side)of the creek. That was the last time I saw him in the daylight.

That is one pretty deer and I think anyone would be proud to take him.

    Yeah, we are a few hundred yards off a national forest line, and that was where the squirrel hunter was. Squirrel hunters can really ruin things for bow hunters.

That must have been frustrating.I like to bow hunt but I would still rather have a gun in my hands.:D

I live to bow hunt. For some reason gun hunting just doesn't do it for me anymore. I still gun hunt but I think it's really just a good excuse to be in the woods. 

Hunting the boundry like we are can get frustrating at times but we do have some nice deer coming from the national forest.

Anyway, as nice as that buck was this year he should be a brute this coming season. Maybe I'll get lucky,,,,, we'll see.

I don't care what hunting method or weapon, as long as I'm out there, I'm having fun.
