12 Point
Question:
Must be a Hot spot. I went back there today to take a few GPS readings and distance measurements. Saw another Guy around there who happened to be the owner of a portable tree stand left up in the woods. He had shot at an 8 Pointer after letting a 4 Point and 7 Pointer go by on previous days. Thinking of building a SMALL House there for Next Year) I followed the blood trail to find the Buck laying there about 10 feet from the South Shore Road. Needless to say the Guy was Happy I came along. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text —— Original Message —– > 5 sec of Hunting missed the bear but…. > WOW! congratulations! he’s beautiful! worth waiting > for!! where did you find him? > how long did it take? did youhave to drag him far to the > truck? > Less than a mile from here as the bird flies.

5 sec of Hunting missed the bear but…. WOW! congratulations! he’s beautiful! worth waiting for!! where did you find him? how long did it take? did youhave to drag him far to the truck? Less than a mile from here as the bird flies. Went out Hunting about 1 P.M. Started at 3rd. Lake Creek into the swamp around there. Nothing. Traveled towards Cohens’ on South Shore Road About 2:30 P.M. Parked there and headed up the road about 1/2 mile. Was planning on going into the woods and then head back towards my truck. Some people in a White Truck said they saw a Big Buck about 1/2 mile back cross the road and head towards the Lakes. I figured that’s nice and headed into the woods. About 1/4 mile up into the Hill I found a spot where previous someone had cleared out a spot and also saw a portable tree stand nearby. I decided to stay there and give my Buck Call device a try. About every 5 Minutes I would first give a couple of Doe Grunts followed by a Buck Grunt. After about 30 Minutes I saw a deer a few hundred yards below me. Another 5 Minutes and I saw the Buck moving below me 200+ yds. I took the shot and found to my delight a Hit and dead deer. If you look at the number 5 photo you can see how close I came to a miss. The drag was easy considering my truck was less than 1/2 mile away.
