tough weekend with the weather. Cold, rainy and windy at times. We hunted friday afternoon and all day saturday. Skipped today (sunday) due to the nasty weather on the mountain.
Friday night my friend saw 3 does and a spike, he had no shot at any of them. His dad had a small doe at 15 yards and passed. His uncle had the same doe and passed and had a 35 yard shot on a 4pt but didnt take it
Saturday morning was a bust, rain rain rain. We sat for 2 hours and there was only 1 doe seen.
Saturday night was hot. Slight drizzle, sun was half out. At 5 my friend shot a small 5pt. his first buck
I stayed up in my tree and around 545 I had a doe come snorting like crazy running to me, followed by grunts behind her. NICE BIG 6 pt was hot on her trail. They stopped 50 yards from me, the doe back tracked and he followed. 5 minutes later she must have lost him as he came back to try and find her. I saw him 75 yards away and hit the can call, he followed in to about 25 yards and I was drawn back, ready to whack him if he stepped out. He deicded to take the inside of some briers and not outside closest to me. I had one small window to shoot and passed it up with a branch in the way. He circled back around and was gone.
Exciting.......but frustrating.
