| A true hunting miracle...
My brother and I were hunting our golden spot in Mendon and we decided
to do a still hunt style for the day. I entered a woods and he
entered a thick patch about 700 yards north of me and we were going to
still hunt in sort of a V, him coming towards me, and I going towards
him. Well as soon as I got out into the open area on the other side of
the woods I saw 4 does run from were my brother was coming so I tried to
get on top of a hill and see were they were going, thinking maybe I
could get a shot. Well as I got to the top of the hill there was no deer
in my vision, the area was too hilly and the deer were just out of
sight. So I looked to my right and saw a deer standing behind a real
thick tree, I couldn't make out what it was but I figured it to be only
a doe. I patiently waited as snow poured down upon me and the deer
was looking in my direction, trying to figure out what I was. It
made it's way to bed down and then I moved into better position. It got
up to chase a doe did a full circle and gave me a shot at 55 yards and I
put it right through the shoulder. It was an exciting hunt that I will
always remember and I owe thanks to my brother Joe for being there and
having hunting with him in the past. I learned many things about
hunting and I might not of gotten this buck if it wasn't for my past
experiences with him. |
