Hi guys,I was feeling a little under the weather with a cold for about a week.Good to go now.I wanted to go huntin' but figured I might get worse so with-held.Anyhow this morning was a good time to hunt.I had lots of energy so went on a trek to find a buck.I looked hard and put on some miles in the snow on foot to locate some tracks.Only found one set of tracks following some does around,draggin' his toes in the snow.The snow was wind blowin' and noisy.I kept on lookin'.Not discouraged at all.Just enjoying packing my new pipe and glassing the bush.It is always nice to look through my scope every now and then just to be sure things are good to go if necessary.It is also good practise to be ready.Rarely do I pack my rifle on my shoulder.I carry my rifle in my hands or cradle it in my arms.You never know when you might need to use it with as little movement as possible.Today was one of those times.Suddenly 2 does walk by me.I freeze.They don't notice me there.Now I am ready as usual for the unexpected and this buck comes tagging along up the rear.Bucks see things different than does.He stops and is looking in my direction.He's mine and I know it but he doesn't.He is a fine looking buck,a beautiful animal,about 50 yds. or so from me.I am holding my pipe in my hands and slowly shoulder and turn to face him all in one motion while I stand there.I marvel over such a nice looking animal standing there looking at me now wondering WTF as my crosshairs rise above his heart and align at the base of his neck like fluid motion and WHAM.Now there he is laying there on the ground,just like that!The does didn't care,they continued to feed along like nothing happened.I didn't disturb them and waited 'till they were gone before I moved.
I walk up to my buck and walk around admireing him thinking what a great hunt I had today.It is aiways a good feeling for me when I blood a new rifle.My 6.5 Grendel.
