Sex Will Kill You

[Johnch]

Well not me
But I just got back in from a quick White Tail Deer hunt

I couldn't sleep
So I headed out to the woods behind my house on my Dad's land
I had been seeing a good number of deer every morning
Either in the cut corn field or in the CPR area between dad's woods and the cut corn

I have 2 ground blinds in the CPR area and another in the woods
The wind was right to hunt the back blind

Well this morning was about 40 degrees with a 15 MPH wind
I got to the blind early , I hoped to let the deer I bumped walking in settle down before daybreak

It was not 15 min after I got into the blind before I heard deer moving in the CPR ground

So I cocked the crossbow and waited
As it got light enough to see , I started to see a couple of does in the cut corn feeding
I had shot several Crop Damage deer a while ago
So I was looking to get a buck

About 7:20 I saw a nice 8 point buck walking just inside the CPR ground
It was looking for a doe to mate with

As it got closer to me , it was on the wrong side of some brush for me to be able to shoot it
So I used a doe bleat call

That worked to well
As it headed right at me
I was lucky , at about 20 yards the buck stopped and looked back at some does in the cut corn

I made a good shot with my Horton Hunter crossbow
It only went 30 or so yards before going down
Not a huge rack , but a decent 21" spread

I called my dad and he brought the truck out to pick it up
Nice to be able to drive right up to the buck and load it up
Great thing about hunting on my land or dad's land
I don't have to buy deer tags
I can still harvest 3 more antlerless deer

I have it in the shed right now
I wanted to put a tarp down first
Then I will be able to gut and skin it without leaving a mess in the shed

Congrats

Shotgun weddings gone south could have the same result. But Good Job with the crossbow, Congrats!

Congrats. Try the "gutless" method if I am saying it right. Tried it a few times and really cuts down on the mess and is pretty quick. Nice having my Kubota to help. Good luck.

Great job, bucks are chasing does everywhere here in KY. Post pics when you can.

[CastingFool]

Nice job! Congrats!

That's a great way to start the day.

nice job! I love being able to drive up to a down deer. Only managed it once.

[Bull-Moose]

Nice story. Congrats!

Instead of a tarp get a kiddie pool. Been using one for over 20+ years in my garage. On my second one never paid for one as Moms don't like dirty pools for the kiddo's so they taken them to the dump.

Hint will last 10 years or more when not left in the sun.

Good shooting , those big boys are hard to drag in corn stalks or on dirt after the beans are combined .

Congratulations, I hope to get to go Saturday morning. Our muzzleloader opens then.

You do realize what could have happened to you if you missed?

[Dinny]

That's a great way to go!

Thanks, Dinny

Yes it will. This is one of those very good reasons chocolate is better than sex. Another is; You can actually get chocolate.

Try the "gutless" method if I am saying it right. . . .

. . . "Gutless method"? I'd heard that term before, as well as field dressing by "keeping it all in the bag." I've never been able to get anyone to explain it to me in a way that made sense. Can anyone tell me how this is done?

Sex may kill me, but what the hell... everybody dies of something.
