Yotehntr Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 After my half day of work and on my way to the lease Saturday my Brother-in-Law calls and says he hit a deer and is trailing it. I got there and helped him find a nice 8pt. There was still plenty of time so I went and sat in the apple scrub where I had planned on even though they had walked through there earlier in the day. I got in to where I have been sitting and saw all the frozen apples turned up in the snow. I sat a while not seeing anything contemplating if I would. Then I looked over my right shoulder into the field behind me and saw a deer coming from the golden rod into the apple scrub about 150 yards away. I got turned and waited hoping whatever it was would come my way and not go the other. Soon a deer appeared I pulled up my pistol and looked it was a little one. I hoped that with it being there it would be like a live decoy and bring others in. It began looking the direction it came from. I kept watching and nothing was coming up over the hill. I looked beyond and another deer came from high out of the upper corn field. Another little one. Then a nice doe popped over the hill where the deer was looking. I put the cross hairs on her but she kept moving. Then an 8pt just like the one my Brother-in-Law killed came in behind her. I watched all 4 of them for about 15 min at 30 yards from me while sitting on the ground. Finally the buck turned to go back and the doe was getting anxious. I put the crosshairs on her but she was staring right at me stomping I was busted. Then she jumped and ran 10 yards I figured she was outta there, but she stopped. I put the crosshairs behind the shoulder and touched it off. After receiving this gun from my wife the same day I propsed to her on Christmas and hunting 4 years with it I finally put a deer under its belt. Complete pass through and she ran about 30 yards and piled up. Ruger Redhawk 7.5" barrel 225gr Hornady Leverevolution. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
