Mature bucks are a different animal than little deer!
H Rhodes:
Thank you Beadman. It is awesome to hunt the rut and watch the chase, but I fear that is about over for the year. I agree completely about hunting with a selfbow - it is the ultimate. There is nothing better than taking a deer with gear you built with your own hands, from the materials right there in the woods you are hunting in. When it comes together, nothing can feel more right.
Badly Bent:
That must of been an exciting few moments for ya Howard, just figuring out where a big one is and getting a good look at him is enough to keep you going back time after time. I know what you mean about those big boys locking up and standing still for long periods of time and then just changing their travel plans for no apparent reason. Its fun trying to figure out what you need to do to put a tag on a particular mature buck that you know lives where you hunt. I'm sure your plotting your next move, hope you get your shot at him.
H Rhodes:
Thanks Greg. I am not throwing in the towel by a damn sight. If I ever do connect with this one, you and Bill won't be able to tolerate sharing a campfire with me at the next classic. I will try to give Tommy a run for his money on the story telling. ;D
Chief RID:
I think he got ya Mr. Rhodes. I think I would try to catch them coming back if you can or maybe got a little further from the funnel and take a chance there. Then go back and hunt your stand again. What a chess match. You are really in the game. Enjoy!
H Rhodes:
Thanks Chief RID. You have given me an idea. Time to adjust my set up.
