I went hunting with scott( hog head) let me just say this man is first class. I've been like most still hunter that always knock dog hunting. Let me just say I'm accidicted!!
We met Scott yesterday morning and went to the lease me and my 13 year old son. All the guys show up with a boxes full of some of the pretties blue tick,walkers and beagle you could lay eyes on. I didn't know how all this work so as I was unloading the 4 wheeler Scott drew my stands for me and my son. Let me say that of y'all go let him draw for you!! He placed me and my son together on stand 7 and 8. Not knowing how the people around us hunt I choose to put Austin on stand 8 away from everyone. I'm sure they felt the same about us being they didn't know us or how safe we would be. If anything I've ever done in my life I've shown Austin how to be safe with a gun and respect the importance of knowing to make sure of his target.
We get to our stands and they release the dogs and the most beautiful sound comes to thur woods with the deepest of barks. The radio goes off get ready in the big timber area 6,7,8. I hear the dogs get closer them 4 doe run by me into some small planted pines. I go to get Austin to move him near the pines as we start walking back a 6 pointer and a doe comes walking out the pines straight to us. I motion for Austin to drop down!! I drop the 6 Austin shoots and misses th doe. Awesome as could be so when the dogs are still running away from you stay on you stand because the deer will still be there. It was just like still hunting these deer walked out as if you was in a stand they wasn't being chased.
Second stand we drew was tower 8 we step out the truck not knowing what side they was letting the dogs out Dog-water is one of the guys releasing dogs stop by I asked him he said across the road. So we walk in about 50 yards and a huge buck came screaming by on a logging ramp before the dogs was drop out or half the people had got to there stands. They turn out and you hear 15 deer just got up get ready on tower rd. well it started pour rain and we walked back to the truck to get a jacket and you can hear the dogs way off getting closer, I tap my window told Austin let's go here they come! We step in the woods about 20 yard and stop and stand there for a min. I hear daddy deer I see a big doe step out and stop Austin flip his safety off and the doe crunched down like of crap what did I just walk into!! I'm still laughing about that now completely priceless!! Austin let the 00 buckshot fly!!! Guys I'm 5-8 they doe jump as high as I am tall when that 20 gauge went off! I said smoked her son put another one in her well she went down and got back up and started running! It was still raining pretty good at this time we started looking for blood and hair. Well then 4 deer came screaming by about 80 yards thur the pines with 4 dogs behind them I grab the radio told everyone to get ready down on tower 7,6,5 here there come!!! Then I see a lone dog coming behind them I asked on the radio if they want me to catch her and they did! So to help the guys out I catch the dog a sweet heart of a walker if Lindell's. I thought for a min I said hey Austin let take her back to where you shot and see if she picks up where the deer was hit. We did and she hit the trail and was on we walk and walked behind her she lost the trail. Again it was flooding when we shot so blood was hard to find Scott (hog head) and another Scott came and we all looked for blood for a while and couldn't find anything! Austin was sick!! To say the least..
So we head to the next gathering they already have the next catch planned we head out they already drew out stand cause we was tracking Austin deer we held them up. We get to our stands and bout 20 min they turn them out. It was some of the thickest land with small planted pines we found a clearing with a bedding areas and a bunch of trails coming into it, I told Austin set down right here son it's so thick they will funnel thur here with all these trails cause it's so thick. The dogs wasn't picking up any thing and bout that time 2 deer busted thur on us Austin let that little 20 gauge wake all the standers up I grab the radio and told the gas line to get ready here 2 come!!! Dog-water came brought his dog and thur them out and the chase was on and they back track to us. Austin missed the 2 deer as they caught us both by surprise it happen so fast.
Let me just say that Scott and them Guys are first class and he has created a monster in one 13 year old. Austin said daddy just write mr. Scott a check please for next year lol. Scott I will mail you his shirt altho I perferr to deliver it (hint hint) I wanna say thanks alot I've never had so much fun hunting with a group of guys that made us feel like family or like we had been hunting together for 10 years. Austin is still itching to kill his first doe and lord knows you gave him every chance to
Do it just didn't all play into his cards. Guys if Scott answers your pm and invite you and yall don't go you just miss a awesome group of guys and a great time. Again Scott thanks a million buddy I hope you and your family has a merry Christmas
