this...went out to a watch I have up north,been goin there fer 6 years,every
year at least twice a year a doe and her fawn come off this flat on the side
hill down to a fly @ 4:30,always @ 4:30... so went there sunday
afternon,about 4:15 got out my grunt call,did a 3 short then 1 long
sequence,waited about 4-5 minutes,then did about 10 short grunts movin the
call from left to right, like a buck w/ a doe...then sat....at 4.30 about
jumped out'a my skin when a doe started blowin from my right side..and
close, but couldn't see her thru the spruce,she's never come that way
before,and bleep if the wind weren't blowin sorta that direction..not right
too her but to dang close! afore she stopped her blowin,her fawn trotted
thru the path bout 15 ft. from me,she blew a couple more times then split up
on the hill,all I could see was her legs and bottom..and she blew a few more
up there...so I sat,depressed she probably warned any deer in the area,but I
stayed,,she never really goes too far away after she gets thru lettin me
know she's there....soooo, at 4:45 I stood up,gettin a lil dark in the
spruce, and put my seat on,and ditty bag,and heard a branch
snap.........guess on the hill but pretty close,,,,,stood there thinkin
maybe it were her again,,,,then a very serious sounding 1 tone grunt came!
bleep! he's standin right where she was blowin the first time! bleep! he'll
follow her,and I'll never see him.........the I see thru the spruce limbs a
deer.... a horn,,,,he's stopped, lookin out into the fly,,bleep he'll wind
me! bleep if that buck didn't take bout 4 steps straight out into the fly!!
nothin tween us but space! I had the gun already up...(pretty smart huh?)
drew the site right on his front shoulder and
snap,whoosh...............(hangfirer,get it?) ......... .... BANG!
bleep,smoke! smoke clears and see the buck leavin but his butt is racin his
front...(really had to be there I guess).heard what sounded like that last
breath thing deer do and a crash...sounded up the hill.... made my way out
to the shootin area right quick,HAIR....BUT DANG LITTLE... no blood, called
to my brother to come help out,bleep it's gettin dark! lookin,lookin,,about
40 ft. from the hair is a teeny tiny drop of blood,,,check for tracks,about
20 ft. more another t.t. drop.....then...ah gees, a runway....where'd he go?
dang it's gettin dark! lookin lookin,,,nothin,,,,, brother shows
up,flashlites out,start over,hair blood blood runway,,,,bleep! well, now
what? I said,is it suppose to rain? bro' says no....lets wait till mornin
afore we mess up the tracks...good idea.....yea.....LONG NIGHT COMIN! head
back to camp,,,thinkin thinkin,thinkin,,,,,picturin all in my mind, again
and again and again,,,, I KNOW the site was on him! I can see it! what about
the hangfirer? bro asks.. I said most of time I have a hang, I shoot left,
in this case would be further back on the buck...course that's most of the
time....gees did I just wound this thing?? is gonna run off and die? ah
gees.....oh gotta clean the flinter,,,,kill some time...gun gets cleaned,all
gotta do is run some bore lube down it......the bleep jag and ramrod tip come
off the ramrod about 1/2 way up the barrel! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
okay,remain calm.......yeah right...jes get some 4f down the touch hole and
we'll blow it right out....bleep! no 4f! got 3f...yeah, that'll go right
in...sure! tried it once,,,,guess not enough powder,blew right out the
touchhole....do it again,,,yeah..more powder...! okay,this ought do it,
bro' watch the wood block,,,,bang! there it is,bleep! buried right in! had
ta split the log 4 times to get the tip out....then what cha got? a ramrod
tip filled with COMPRESSED wood! okay, move ahead 1/2 hour,,,,all wood is
removed..tip back on,,,,,held with a broke off paneling nail.....(easily
found in the adirondacks...???) guess what? gotta clean the gun.....again!
(that's okay,we've practiced this!) okay now it's mornin...and you know it
didn't come that fast! back to the spot,,,same hair,same blood,same
runway...apppears buck went UP runway,, not a good sign...look and look fer
blood,nothin! decide to jes keep walkin and lookin,,,walkin and lookin...2
hours nothin! told bro' look we got nothin here to say he went up there fer
