idgaf Report post Posted August 29 My nephew got his first archery buck yesterday. He is 13. They took it back to camp to skin and quarter. After everything was done, my brother was sitting there enjoying a cold beverage and another buck walks into camp. My nephew convinces him to shoot it. 15 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HyNoon Report post Posted August 29 Probably smelt the other buck and was looking for a buddy to hang with. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They left it until the next morning (unsure of the hit location, watched it bed) and a lion claimed it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Little Creek Calls Report post Posted August 29 A few years back my dad and I had a December WT hunt. Opening morning my Dad shot a mid 90’s buck that was chasing a doe and had a young three point buck following behind. After he shot it ran down a steep hillside to die. My dad being to old to hike down to it, I went down and dragged it back up to him so we could get pictures. The Doe and smaller buck followed me the entire time at maybe 25 yards and even stayed and watched us take photos and gut it. My dad kept telling me to shoot the smaller buck and be done with the hunt. I resisted and didn’t take the shot but otherwise it would have been similar. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My brother went back to camp to grab a couple of waters, leaving my nephew there. My nephew saw the lion at 40 yards. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
