So this story starts with my earlier post to TBH about where to hunt in Texas. I took the advise given to me and tried Fort Hood. I found a place with no one around..hard to do on Hood as found out...and placed a stand, ground blind and trail camera. After a week of pictures and 3 hunting trips i went out on the morning of the 14th to find my Tree stand, blind and camera gone. So I decided on my way home, I was going to go to my home town of Cody Wyoming and hunt there. I called my Father in-law and Uncle and let them know I was leaving tuesday morning. On Friday the 21st of October I went to Gillette, WY and did some Antelope hunting. Around 1:30 in the afternoon I found a buck and a doe feeding along a little creek and made my move. Two shots and 10 seconds later I had the buck down at 275 yards and the doe at 325 running.
Then on the way back from Gillette I had my Father in-law drop me off with my Uncle and I did some deer hunting with my new Hoyt. At 9:30 in the morning I had this little 10 point come by at 15 yards.
So in less then 24 hours I had 3 animals down and was able to harvest my first buck with a bow. Now some of you will look at this deer and say two things, he young and had potental...you should have let him go, and that he is really an 8 point. I got two things to say to these...for a public land white tail in northern Wyoming he's not bad, second I count those want to be points. The stick out enough to look like one, I'm counting them. HA HA HA Hope you enjoy, I had a blast back home!
