best Deer I didn't get

BUFF · 01-24-2007, 07:49 PM

I had this deer around me 3 day in a role. he never came closer than 40 yards. It is one of the few times I have wished for a Compound. it sure made it easy to get up in the mornings knowing he was around

I see your problem. He's right in front of the feeder so if he never got closer than 40 yards you must be setting up too far out.

That would make it worthwhile to get up. On a related outdoor note, in the summer I've taken to setting out a couple of lines when I go to bed. Kind of makes it worthwhile to stagger out of bed in the morning (I am not a morning person!) Some days I'll look out the window and my line has been pulled way off to the side. Found a couple of good reds on there. Sweet!

Nice buck Buff,

You can't kill everything I guess, that is one lucky deer. When he goes back in the woods and brags that he was 40 yards from you, the other animals will call him a lier.

With the season you've had (two caribou, MONSTER ELK!), you'd be plumb ruint if God have given you a shot at that buck too!

Marty, next season when he shows up I'll come sit with you, I have wheels. I won't charge you a thing.

Ya know? Paul Schafer woulda took him. :twisted: (I'm not talking about that moron on that other moron's talk show either)

That is one awesome creature. Better to pass and have a better chance than a wound and a regret. No doubt he's bigger racked that the one I mmm, mmm, mmm, uh, didn't get last year. This year, I saw a doe at 40 and a buck at 250; no shot, end game. :?

looking at the date, i would bet your already putting a game plan together for opening day of archery season '07 8)
he sure is purty, he'll look good with the others. February is a good month for building brush blinds. :idea: closer to the feeder or the trail he used.

Its a gift to just be able to see a deer that big in person, be happy with that, most of us don't even have a place where we can see a deer of that caliber, at least I know I don't.

That's a super nice buck. Is that an East Texas buck?

That deer would not only get me out of bed in the mornings, it would keep me awake at night. What a beautiful animal. Hope you get on him again this fall Buff.

Buff, that is a nice deer. As for my best buck that I did not kill this year, it could have spike antlers. I was skunked this year :cry: and only killed a turkey on the last day of the season. Pick a Spot welcome to the site. Bob

Someone please take her posting privileges away. It is bad enough that I have to hear about it all of the time, now I have to read about it.

Oh, I'm sorry, Babe!
