I'm an avid forager/hunter/gatherer and today was the opening day of bow season in Michigan. I got up early, and wasn't very optimistic for a morning hunt but it's supposed to rain and be windy this afternoon/evening and for the next few days. So I went out before dawn to set up.
I've seen about 6-8 different bucks (buck only hunt where I live) but not routinely or during the day very often.
But I did see this beautiful boy on my trail cam three days ago:
So I was hoping to at least see a deer. I saw four- a doe, a spike, and then a forkhorn, and then this guy. He came in FAST- and I barely had time to set up. I took a shot quickly, because he and the smaller buck were getting ready to jostle each other.
And here is the result- my biggest buck taken with my bow.
What a rush it was for me- I rarely even see big bucks and this one had my heart pounding!
