Hunting Buck
The Big Buck
It was the Friday before deer season opened. We always came to deer hunting camp a few days early to scout around to see where the deer had been moving. I decided to cross the bay, which was very small, to take a look at the dirt road. Deer always came down to drink or cross into an area where my tree stand was located. It didn’t take long to find a fresh track, which was the largest I had ever seen. The track measured about 4 inches long with dewclaws behind it and was splayed out. This indicated that it was a very heavy buck. Boy I sure would like to see him tomorrow morning when the season opened!
After a fitful nights sleep we had great anticipation as we left the cabin at first light. Opening day dawned with about 2 inches of fresh snow and no wind. The temperature was about 10 degrees. All was very quiet in the woods. We had perfect hunting conditions!
About 7:30 I decided to take a little break with some coffee. A few minutes went by and I became aware of a presence behind me. As the steam from my hot coffee billowed in the air a big doe was starring right at me, at least I thought. Not knowing what it was, she was starring at the steam from the coffee. The big doe crawled on her knees with curiosity to check this out. She never ran, and as I didn’t have a doe permit, I watched her slowly walk away.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw a deer moving along a ridge behind a bunch of pine trees about 75 yards away. The deer was walking right to left and if things went well it would be broadside to me in a few minutes. I had cut some shooting lanes a few years before and the deer was moving right towards on. When I saw the deer for the first time it was a big buck with a doe along side it. It seemed liked forever before I took the shot. I fired and the big buck fell like a rock. I got down from the stand and called in a few of my hunting buddies. We all agreed that it was the biggest buck any of us had ever seen. It had to be the big deer that make the tracks that we had seen the night before.
It took a while to field dress the monster buck and with 4 guys it was a struggle to drag it back to camp. We broke camp a few days later with 3 deer from our hunting trip. When we went to the station to register the deer, the owner of the station wanted to weigh my deer. He too said it was the biggest buck that he had ever seen. The deer was a 10- point buck and dressed out after hanging at 235 pounds.
The rack still hangs on my wall and all I have to do is look at that big rack and smile as the memory comes alive again!
