I went out opening day with my buddy and his dad. I didn't hunt, (I bow hunt) just went along for the ride. First thing in the morning we saw a good 3 point and a couple of 2 points came by. I got the video camera on them and told him to shoot when he was ready. 1st shot missed, the deer looked around and moved slowly closer to him while he reloaded. 2nd shot went about 3 inches over its back.
I just giggled because of how good of a shot this guy is. This was the first time I have been with him shooting at a buck. He is awesome at the range.
By now the deer have started to figure out something is not right so they took off without anymore shots. About 10 minutes later he comes another wave of deer with a couple big 2 points and a lot of smaller bucks. Had the biggest forker coming right to us and then he went into some trees behind the does and never came out. Ended up giving us the slip.
We hunted the rest of the day only seeing does, so when we go back to the truck we drove down the road to glass one last place. Wound up finding 5 bucks playing around right above where we started the day. We picked out the biggest 2 point and he killed it. Ended up seeing around 125- 150 deer and about 20-25 bucks. Bad thing was that we only saw 1- 3 point and another hunter that killed a small 4 point. It was still a great day though even though I didn't hunt.
