2023 Trad Harvest Thread
I’ve been after this old buck since mid October. I missed him at the end of October then he disappeared during no-show November. As usual, I got busy with hunters and did not have any time to hunt for myself from December until yesterday. I got to the stand super early yesterday afternoon, noticed the wind direction was sort of marginally wrong and started to walk back to the truck but something told me it was worth a shot so I turned around and got settled in. The blind was sort of an old school brush blind which doesn’t do much for scent containment. The wind usually has to be perfect but at 5 o clock I had two big 170 inch 5 year olds on my corn pile and they had no idea I was there.
At 5:15 they both looked to my right, pinned their ears and eased off out of sight. This buck came in, asserted his dominance and I didn’t have to wait long for a broadside shot. As I pulled an arrow out of my quiver the fletching brushed the one next to it and he looked straight in to the hole in the brush blind. I thought it was over for a moment but he relaxed and put his head back down. I nocked the arrow and waited again for him to turn. When I released the impact looked high but I could see a spray of blood on brush 3 feet high and knew he was done.
He went 150 yards into some of the thickest brush on the property despite the 200 grain Jager broadhead putting a huge hole in both lungs. It took me over an hour to get him out by myself.Last edited by Sika; 01-22-2023, 05:21 PM.
