FINALLY a SUCCESSFUL Hunt

Hunted the 2nd Ohio Gun Season today with my dad. hunted one property this morning from 7-11 am and didnt see anything except for 2 BIG Fox squirrels !! headed back to my dads to grab a sandwich and warm up alittle !! headed out to my favorite farm to hunt for the first time this year (my buddy shut down his farm for the regular gun season to take his son out for his first hunt) walked back into my ground blind that i built and have taken 9 deer from and someone had torn it down...........boy i was TICKED OFF............i decided to hunt my 2nd ground blind that i seldom hunt but ive sat my friends in and theyve always taken deer. as i headed down the hill to the blind ..........the snow really kicked up it was snowing so hard that i could barely see. i got to my blind settled in on my hot seat and within 5 minutes was covered with a thin layer of snow. i caught some movement on my right and slowly turned my head and saw a small racked 4 pt buck stand up out of a briar thicket and a small doe (they were about 15 yds away) they both looked right at me and started walking slowly parallel to my blind . they watched me constantly and figured theyd bolt but they never did ......... i couldnt get a good shot they were on my right side and i CANNOT shoot left handed !!! they walked about 20 yds away.............watching me the whole time.............and finally turned and cut across in front of me at about 25 yds. when they stopped behind a tree .......i got my gun up and the buck took a step out and i had a good neck shot and DROPPED HIM !! i was pumped ............even though he isnt a trophy deer it sure felt good to get a deer after how tough the first week of gun season was for me. i think the best part of it was hunting in one of the worst winter storms weve had in a long while around here ........the woods were beautiful covered in snow !! ill post a picture of my buck (it aint the greatest i took it on my cell phone) !!

sounds good to me. those big horns don't eat good

buddy there is nothing wrong with a deer like that, i didn't even get one with the gun this year because of my health, i did buy the all season for 80 bucks and only went for 2 days out of 3 months of hunting. congrats buddy and thanks for sharing the story with us.

yeah my health GREATLY limits my ability to hunt (a long story) , so i know where you are coming from for sure !!! that young buck will eat good for sure. i still have a doe tag to fill in muzzleloader season so i took today off to get my strength back and didnt even hunt !!! muzzleloader opens the 27th so ill let you guys know how that goes for me !!

that is one nice deer you got there.

Ive killed two does this year, nothing to hang on the wall, but Ill sure eat good till spring"
