2 weeks ago I hung a stand on a trail coming from a thick bedding area to an oak flat loaded with white oaks that are dropping like crazy. A few days after I hung the stand my buddy calls wanting to go hunting, I couldn't hunt that evening so I sent him to that stand, at 6:00 he calls me and says he shot a good one. Turns out it was a buck we had trail camera pictures of all summer. We scored him at 110" and I really can't tell if he was 2.5 or 3.5. Doesn't matter either way because it's his best bow buck!
Yesterday afternoon my wife's brother asked if I wanted to go hunting, I told him and I'd take him and try to put him on a good buck. I put him in a similar spot as the other one and I went to another stand. At 5:30 he text me and said he shot a nice one. He said he hit him good and heard him go down he thought. I hunted till dark and drove to where he was. Short track job, the swhacker tore him up pretty good and he didn't go 50 yards. This was also his best bow buck and the 3rd biggest deer he's ever killed. I also had trail cam pics of this deer all summer. It's been a good season for all my buddies, I haven't hardly seen jack crap[emoji1]
