Rich's 2007 White Tail Buck


It was a slow season so I did some scouting and found a hot spot, a spot with scraps and a few rubs. 

I got up early Monday to make certain I got my climber set up before light. At about 8:00 this nice 7 pointer walked in behind a doe at about 50 yards. The doe ran off at about sixty yards.

The buck started walking towards my tree to check a scrape 15 yards from my tree.
At about 30 yards he turned broad side and started to walk back they way he came with the doe.

I shot and I missed. I breathed slowly into my grunt call, and like magic and much to my surprise he turned around and started walking back to the scrape. 

Now he was at 20 yards and suddenly looked right up at me, not liking the situation he turned and started to walk away.

I drew my bow, relaxing into the shot, and the arrow hit him perfectly behind the shoulder. I waited about an hour
before getting down from the tree. I followed his trail and found him about 70 yards from where I shot him.
