lets take a second and discuss Archery etiqatte... If someone is putting the sneak on a monster buck or any animal for the matter leave them be! dont move in an try to take their animal. had this happin to me this morning on what would have been a buck of a life time! I was so close to the kill it was stupid! had it takin away so fast!
I spotted a buck from my wheeler at about 8:00 this morning. he was 587 yds away. the conditions were perfect, everything wet and muddy, constant strong wind, good cover, ect. I put a stock on this bedded buck while my buddy sat back and enjoyed the show from the high ridge above. some road hunters we had passed earlier showed up an asked my friend "where did your buddy go?" he replied he is puttin a sneak an a "2pt"(27" 5x6) they said "oh is that him out on the ridge?" he says yes as the one guy glasses the buck an says "what a hog! that is no 2pt!" they quickly move down the road in my direction. they catch me in the road right as im about to go in the trees an the stop me as I say im busy an try to walk off.. the give me a sob storry about how they had wounded "this" buck.. an if they minded they came with me an finished the buck.. i said yes I mind! this deer appears to be in full health, I glassed him for 45 mins an he was fine. I said wait here an ill come back and we will see if he has one hole or two when Im done with him. I finally got away annd closed in on the buck. I sat there at 42 yds looking at his horn tips stick up out of the bushes. all of a sudden he is up an gone! I look around to see what happend cause it sure wasnt me that scared this buck. as the two guys that confronted me earlier appeared some 20 yds to each side of me.
why is almost everyone in UT like this? I have been screwed more times in ut than any other..
so please have some respect peaople!
an PS tp the two guys that scewed me over.
Hope you guys had fun getting the air back in them tires
