weekend from hell ..edit

Ok I will try to make a long story short. The weekend was the weekend from H E double hockey sticks. Tater was stung by wasps in the canbin twice on two different nights, when the storms came through at 11:30 pm we had a lightning strike that we thought had killed us all I'm talkin it took a bit to figure out what had happened the light was blinding and the sound deafening and the smell of burning electric almost immediately, I moved a stand and left my hook up in the old tree so I had no place to hang my backpack, bow ect... and I couldn't get the stand straight. Sat. morning being close to rut I thought we would see a lot of activity, nothin' 1 spike was all, saw 5 coyotes between all of us tater got one shot dead I got one shot and missed, I did shoot a possum though, and that was pretty much how sat. was, Sun. Tater got out to stand forgot his arrows had to go back, comin back in the woods stuck a stick in his eye and bloodied it, I was saturated with sweat smelled terrible so I knew my hunt was over then. I decided to try to reach my deer dander to try to cover my stink some, I had to hold my bow, kneel down on my knees to reach my bag (which I hung on the climbing sticks) to get it out, sprayed down, thought since I'm here I get my "can" out. get back up sit down hit the can once and I see a deer 60 yards out and closing, I decide I'm going to shoot him but I have the can in my hand an no place to put it. I try to set it on my seat but it starts to slide off cause the stand is at an angle, I get it stopped turn around now the deer is 30 yrds, he comes in closer gets behind a tree I draw he comes out the other side and looks at me stopped behind a sapling, I thought this is it I'm busted, hes head bobbin, so I new he was gone, I'm trying to find a shot when he must have decided I was no threat, he took 2 more steps, I did the mouth bleat he stopped and I let her fly. In the end he was maybe 15 yrds at the very most, double lunged him. pic attached.

Oh yah, and in the very end it turned out to be a great weekend!!!!!![:D]

    Well done and very much deserved. A perfect example of what can happen when you don't give up on a tough hunt. Congrats Bang.

    I came up with 131-4/8 green, but as I told you in an email I've been told there is no way he is that good. But to answer your question, no I never took it in to that fella to have him score it.
    If he is only 120 I'm still happy. He still tastes real good!
    I guess I should get a pic of the mount up tho huh!

    So what are you thinkin? 10 months to Illinois?

    Understandabley but I thought of you when I saw that RI was inclouded in his search. I wish someone close to me would look for someone to come hunt their ground with them, I'd be there. Course that could be because I want to hunt all the corners of Il. and everything in between also.[:D]

    Nope, everyone(usually only 2-3 others, sometimes 4 during shotgun can be 5-6) I hunt with has a nickname. We call ENOS- Mo. Until something else comes along anyway, he just got his name this season so it is still subject to change. [:D]
