Decided to give up on the spot I've been hunting and try some new state land yesterday afternoon. Guess it was a good decision!:D
I had only scouted the land by computer maps, but after talking to the DNR was told good deer concentration throughout. So off I went.
I got out about 1:00 pm, and slowly worked my way into the area. The area was fairly thick in cover, but lots of sign. I found an area that had several trails crossing, with a few shooting lanes. Long story short, at 4:20 two does came in with a tall spike following. I planned on taking the doe but a shot never materialized, and my mouth was already watering for some of that venison. Ended up taking the buck at just under 30 yards. Took out a lung and he piled up within a hundred yards. The best part was taking my son back to help track it and field dress it.
How is everybody else doing so far?
