Great Hunt For My Dad. Oh so close.
Target buck came in shortly after 7. stood at 26 yards facing the stand for a good bit of time. Very relaxed. Dad was waiting for him to turn to give him the angle he needed. Before that could happen one of those Whoreish nanny does made her way directly under his stand with her youngins. She busted his ass. Not sure if it was scent or movement while adjusting for the shot. Probably both
The family group boogied, and 'Mr Right' slowly walked away and outta range. He seemingly stayed relatively relaxed and never picked him off. Just reacted to the does.
It was a great way to start the season. I was very proud of my dad for not taking a shitty straight on shot.
Trying to game plan for tomorrow. Prob going to stay aggressive on that same deer. Dads time a field is limited, and there's nothing to lose. The big big boys wont be moving into this property for a couple more weeks anyway. Will be heading out in the afternoon again
Great Start.
Lookin like my first sit will be early this week with the temps dropping
