Been a while since I last posted a report and let me tell you, I manage to bag my personal best this season.
Got up there Oct 31st and this is the view from the camp that greeted us.... What a beautiful place
 
  
and the view of the camp

This would be our home base for the next 8 days.... we strarted right away scouting our hunting area and did not look too promissing
 no tracks to be found.  Deer was not moving but on Sunday afternoon, found some fresh tracks.  Got our hopes up
  no tracks to be found.  Deer was not moving but on Sunday afternoon, found some fresh tracks.  Got our hopes up   Deer was in the pre-rut.
   Deer was in the pre-rut.Came Monday, my brother missed a buck that came within 15' of him, just could not shoot it because the deer saw him and scoot out of there in a hurry
 
  On Tuesday, had something behind my tree stand that sounded like a doe but could not positively identify and that was it...... Got me all pumped up
 
 Managed a couple of pics of my tree stand when I got there


Wednesday morning was the same except , at around 10:15am, this huge buck decided to hit the road and walk towards me
 If you look at the 3rd pic, you see the dirt road, the farthest point is where he came on the road.  Seemed for ever to get within range but was worth the wait.  Got the blood flowing for a while until it got within 60 yards from me.  Took aim and release the trigger...... BANG..... Dropped him right in it's tracks

A couple of shots with me and again, sorry for the blood


Back at camp, another shot of my PB

It weighted 152Lbs empty, 14" 1/4 in length in between the main beams. 8 Points..... Got him on the grunt call. We also managed to bag about 30 partridges during our week.
Hope you enjoy
