What a great morning. Got into position about 1/2 hour before legal shooting time. I was only there for about 15-20 mins when I could hear a deer walking in the ice crusted leaves off to my left. I kept looking and looking for it as it was coming closer slowly but surely. Finally just at legal shooting shooting time I saw it above me working through the huckleberry bushes head down. I could barely make out the front sight. I had the hammer cocked and waiting for a clear shot to pull the set trigger and then touch off the shot from my Renegade /.58 GM PRB shooter when he picked up his head and showed me his beautiful rack. I had to let him pass as I had already filled my buck tag earlier in archery season and only had an anterless tag. But what a bruiser. I hope he's around next year. I'll have a tree stand set up in that area. If I'd had known it was a big buck I would have had my phone out to take his pic.
Not long afterwards I heard my buddy that was sitting about 300 yards to my right shoot. I waited about 15 mins or so and worked my way over to him only to see him standing over a nice fat doe. I walked down the hill and retrieved my ATV and we loaded it up on the rack.
I love morning like this.
