Another Big Buck Down!
Chris, from Georgia, shot this nice Whitetail at Rolling Plains Adventures this September on the first day and first hour of the hunt! Lets hear the story.
It was Saturday evening and Chris was getting packed up from the lodge on the ranch to head out hunting. The weather was a little warm, but the wind was perfect. We left for the stand at about 5:30 and Chris was settled in the stand by 6. Last light is around 9:30 at this time of the year.
With only a few minutes of sitting, here comes a doe right to the stand. It moved back and forth into the corn field for the next hour or so, so when it appeared again, Chris assumed it was the doe. It was a buck this time. A nice 9 pointer. Without hesitation, Chris went through his checklist in his head to make the perfect shot. When he knew it was a shooter, he told himself that it will be like shooting another doe to keep him calm. At about 20 yards, Chris went full draw with his arrow pointing right at the buck. At about 7 pm, the arrow was released right into the vitals. Perfect shot!
The buck ran about 90 yards before going down. What a perfect way to end your hunt on the first day....first hour of your hunt!
Congrats Chris!
