Excellent write up, great buck!
Good story, just shows ya that you never know what might show up. I like the form used on that mount. Looks really good, what is that position called?
Thank ya sir. I got 2 mounts that are both full sneak. If I get another nice one I’m gonna go with that look.It’s called “Extreme Sneak.” Thank you sir!
Congratulations Mark.
You have given all of us a wonderful "walk along" with each step of this adventure. Your words made it feel like I was really walking very slowly right behind you during this entire hunting excursion. I also felt the raw emotion at the point of your "missed shot" and the over-whelming emotion of the problem involved with the follow-up second shot as well. It brought back memories of many years ago as I have had something similar happen to me that I would have never thought was possible at the time. Yes, I learned the hard way that it is very difficult to fire an "unloaded" rifle. Your descriptive details made me feel like I was right there with you during every step of this fantastic adventure. I actually felt like I was having to hold on really tight as I crossed the "wet" log over the creek that had such cold rushing water right underneath as I slipped along with you on this adventure. Thank you for such great details and I hope that every deer hunter might get the opportunity to "walk in your shoes" by having such a wonderful experience during their lifetime as well.
I love your way with words and the actual raw emotion that was created during your hunt and this wonderful accomplishment. Not only are you a fantastic "weather" Guru, you are also a wonderful writer that has the ability to relate really well with all of us that love to go deer hunting on those very cold and dark early mornings just so we can anticipate the chance at a buck of a lifetime such as yours. Your buck has lots of character and will always be an attention getter!
Without a doubt, God smiled on you back on December 10th. Thanks for sharing this exciting experience and including the photos of such an event.
I don’t understand how a deer that close didn’t hear the action and magazine noise. No way my shaky hands could do that silently.
