WENT ON THE LBL HUNT THIS PAST WEEKEND. WE GOT AREA 11, GOT THERE ABOUT 2 PM ON FRIDAY AND FOUND A GOOD AREA TO HUNT SATURDAY MORNING. GOT IN THE WOODS 45 MINS. BEFORE DAYBREAK AND HADTO WALK IN ABOUT 1/2 MILE. GOT TO WHERE I WAS GOING TO HUNT BUT 4 OTHER HUNTERS MUST HAVE FOUND THE SAME SPOT I FOUND BECUASE THEY BEAT ME IN THERE. SO I HEADED 2 RIDGES TO THE LEFT OF THE RIDGE I WAS GOING TO HUNT AND SIT DOWN BESIDE A TREE RIGHT BEFORE DAYLIGHT. WHEN IT GOT TO WHERE I COULD SEE THRU THE WOODS I SPOTED MOVEMENT COMING MY WAY. IT WAS 4 SMALL DOES AND A SMALL 4PT. TWO OF THE DOES CAME SO CLOSE TO ME I COULD HAVE REACHED OUT AND TOUCH THEM. THEY FED AROUND ME FOR ABOUT A HOUR BEFORE MOVING ON. THEN THE SUN CAME OVER THE TREE TOPS AND I COULD NOT SEE A THING. DID NOT WANT TO MOVE TO THE OTHER SIDE OF TREE BECAUSE I ALREADY RACKED THE LEAVES AWAY AND DID NOT WANT TO MAKE ANYMORE NOISE THAN I HAD TOO. ABOUT 9:20 I CAUGHT MOVEMENT IN FRONT OF ME AGAIN AND I COULD SEE THAT IT WAS A BUCK. I SAW 4 PTS.ON ONE SIDE AND DECIDE TO TAKE IT. IT ENDED UP BEING A SIX PT THAT HAD 4PT ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND A 8IN SPIKE WITH A TWO IN KICKER ON THE LEFT SIDE. DID NOT KNOW IT AT THE TIME BUT THERE WAS ANOTHER HUNTER ABOUT 80 YARDS BEHIND ME IN A TREE STAND. HE DID NOT SHINE A LIGHT AT ME WHEN I CAME IN SO HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING HE WAS EVEN THERE. BUT HE KNEW I WAS THERE WHEN THAT 300 MAG WENT OFF. HAD TO DRAG THAT DEER OVER 4 RIDGES AND BY 6 HUNTERS. GOT ABOUT 300 YARDS FROM THE TRUCK AND DECIDED TO TAKE MY GUN TO THE TRUCK AND LITEN MY LOAD, WE ATE LUNCH BEFORE GOING BACK TO GET THE DEER. AFTER GOING BACK TO GET THE DEER WE FOUND THAT COYOTE'S HAD ALREADY FOUND HIM AND HAD EATEN OVER HAVE OF HIM BEFORE I GOT BACK INTO THE WOODS. BUT THEY WAS TWO GOOD DEER KILLED THERE THIS WEEKEND A 15 PT THAT GROSS 178 THAT WAS TAKEN ON SAT. AND A 10 PT THAT GROSS 177 THAT WAS TAKEN SUNDAY MORNIG. I WAS THERE TO SEE THE 10 PT AND IT WAS A MONSTER THE GUY THAT GOT IT WAS HUNTING IN UNIT 12 MUZZLE LOAD HUNT. MAYBE NEXT TIME. GOOD WEEKEND
