when an average hunter gets a strip tag. In the field updates

Recommended Posts

After ranging twice I settle my 3rd pin (sighted exactly in at 45 yards) on him and I release.  I hear the thump of a hit.  I notice a smaller buck running along side monica as chaos breaks loose, like I tried to assassinate the president.  Bucks are running everywhere.  I keep an eye on monica making sure I dont lose site knowing he/she will go down any second.  I go to where I shot and look for my arrow. Nothing. no blood.  I go to where I last see them and find a piled up deer and say to myself finally.  I look at the horns and go where is the rest of it. For a fleeting second I wont lie to you and say I didnt consider going after the big buck.  Apparently when I ranged the second time and the seconds it took to reaquire the target the little guy stepped in front of his dad enough to take an arrow to the face.  

I sat there reminiscing over the past couple of weeks. the bucks I missed, passed and seen and just laughed.  Here is my monster strip buck.  Hope you guys enjoyed the ride.  the ending wasnt what I expecting either.

Are you saying your hunting transgender deer? Well It is in the back country anything could happen. ;)

The first Javelina I saw die was similar to this, between the time the arrow left my buddies bow and it making it to the big pig, a little oinker stepped out and took an arrow to the noggin, game over quick. My buddy was super pissed, makes for a good story.  Great thread and good job, should eat good.

Amazing write up and pictures! Thank you for letting me be right there during your hunt... Like the rest of the regulars I have been checking in as much as possible for updates. Kinda want to start putting my points to that hunt and see if I could get it done with my longbow. Anyway that was fun thanks for the ride and any animal taken up there is a blessing congrats on two great animals this year!

Right in the face "IN the face" quote some movie I saw was funny as crap.

heres my take on it, you had a heck of a time and saw a ton of deer both big and small. you hunted hard which is more then most guys will get to do in a lifetime. killing a buck big or small has nothing on what you did and Saw. I have more fun getting out seeing a ton of game then I do shooting them more memories too. BUT dang you got some awsum pics in this thread and found a few dead heads as well what more could a guy want.

Congrats on your hunt I thought it was freaking awsum
