Last weekend, I was deer hunting at my camp in Woodville, Mississippi. It was a saturday afternoon and it had snowed the day before. It was about 20 degrees, but felt like 8. I was hunting in a deer stand called “Boo Hoo”. While walking into the stand, I jumped a doe. I was excited that I had seen a deer already, but upset that it ran away. I wasn't really worried though because its the rut.
At about 4:15, 4 does came running out from the right side of the field. I knew something was chasing them and I got really excited. About fifteen minutes later, at 4:30, 2 more does came running out the left side of the field. I just knew a buck was chasing them and at 4:45 I called in a big eight point from the right side. He was the one chasing the first 4. I was super excited, but as I began to study him, I noticed that he was only a three year old deer. I had to wait longer to see if the buck that was chasing the 2 does from the left would come out.
Finally, at 5:10 the dominate buck in the area came out. He had a huge body, but he was only a six point. This means he is a cull buck. I picked up my gun and waited for him to get closer. Finally, when he came 100 yards from me broad-side I squeezed the trigger. I had dropped the buck right there with my new gun.
