buck and ball said:I was setting up at the edge of a field , Was not there 2 minutes. Placed a doe in heat lure in field. He went right to it . Came running across field . He stopped about 60 yards out . I leveled the rifle sighted him in and fired. He went right down and never moved. 45 cal. flint lock, 128 round ball, 75 grains of 3 F goex powder. Quickest hunt I have ever been on. Rut was in full swing and I guess he was after what he thought was a doe
waiting for him.
Few years back Bev and I were returning from LaGrange on one of the narrow back roads this time of year. I rounded a curve slowly and there was a 8 point standing dead even in the center of the two-lane paved road. Bucks just don't do that, even by accident. :wink: No bigger than our whitetails are, I'd swear he was stretched out over what looked like both lanes! Over at the fence line was a big doe...ah, yes, love is in the air! :haha: I eased to a stop but he never even twitched...that boy was locked in on Mrs. Bambi...real case of laser lock! I told Bev, "Watch this" and hit the horn. He must have jumped 8 feet straight up! The Rendezvous is fairly quiet running but his attention was elsewhere! Still chuckle over that one! :rotf:Britsmoothy said:Ahhr, the downfall of many a male!!
