I shot this buck opening day. He was the second buck i snuck in on. The first one jumped my string. Dont ever let anyone try and tell you them little buggers arent fast. He was ducked and half gone by the time my arrow was half way there. Even though it was dissapointing it worked out for the better. We first glassed my buck from the road. I took off after the buck trying to get infront of him. He was in a giant flat and i just couldnt get into him. To make matters worse there was a govenment worker there checking on prarie dogs. She was driving up little roads to the cages over the mounds. I kid you not she was carrying them water. Ya thats right she was watering them. She spooked him 2 times. After trying for 3 hours to get infront of him he finally was about to enter the trees and i was waiting for him. Out of nowhere he just ran into the trees and about 50 yards from me. I almost sat down and cried. I keept after him though. He went and hit a fence line and toped a little ridge. When i toped the ridge he was there. I ranged and nocked my arrow. He heard my release clip and looked as i drew back. He troted about 10 yards and was trying to figure out how to cross the fence when i let him have it. He went about 70 yards and was done for. I havent scored him but he has 7 inche bases and is 14 long. My taxidermist said he will be arount 77. I would like to thank my dad for all the help. Thanks for looking.
