Buckmanjr's second buck!

[buckmanjr]

Went out today at 3:45, at 5:00 PM i start to hear some brushbraknig behind me, about 70 yards away, i didnt see a thing. Then at around 5:30 i look to my right, where i have been looking the whole time, and theres this buck ( i thought was a doe) standing out at 60 yards. It starts to walk away, so i give it a grunt with the grunt call and turn it around. Its walking down the trail right towards my stand, i draw when its behind a big pine tree, didnt see me draw! awsome, this deer is mine. I pick my opening, and about 1 minute after i draw, it steps in it, quartering shot at 15 yards! Its walking pretty good so i give it a little "burp" to stop it, it worked! stops right in the opening Bam, nail it right in the shoulder, a little high. Shot it at 5:39 pm. We looked and looked for blood, with very little to find, untill we see some flaslights comign through the woods, Its some hunting buddies who arrowd a 4 pointer and stumbles across my deer! Turns out it was a button buck, I wanted a doe,and if i had known it was a button buck i wouldnt have taken it. But second day hunting this season and i have my second Buck. Thumbsup

We didnt end up finding the other 4 pointer, but we will probably find it tmmrw.

The best part about the whole thing, they gutted it for us! Laughing1 Punched through its shoulder and through the ribs into some important organs

Does this mean i am in first for the Big buck contest? lolWhat1

Getting it tagged and weighed tmmrw. Not a huge deer, But i thought it was a doe, and it turned out to be a little button buck. I have a picture of a Button buck still in spots, i wonder if its the same deer?

Nice job Buckmanjr, great report very well detailed.

Yes that means your are currently in the lead with that Buck. A buck is a buck no matter what. Just make sure you get all the info concerning this deer from the Weigh station weight, Tag number ect.

Congrats like i've said before any deer with a bow is a trophy in my book.Beerchug Beerchug Beerchug Beerchug Beerchug Beerchug Beerchug

[Maineman17]

[Fishstory]

It looks like my neighbors great dane, oh wait, their great day has that by 80 poundsLaughing1 Laughing1 Laughing1 . Enjoy the lead and nice shot....

[buckmanjr]

Hey, i never said it was huge. I thought it was a Doe! lol. I would have passed that in a heart beat if i knew it was a button buck.

[fisher16]

Buckmanjr enjoy the Homepage of Maanglers.com. The prize for the first one to get a buck was to be placed on the homepage as requested in our discussion concerning this contest. Enjoy

[buckmanjr]

Thanks sean, it was great to get another one this year.

[Sledneck]

Nice job Jeff, But you know you are gonna get shit for shooting that puppy....lol I think I have shot coyotes bigger than that deer. I am guessing he weighs 70lbs, are you sure you wanna enter that deer? You're gonna have to tell us all what it weighed....Laughing1 Laughing1 Laughing1 Just kidding buddy, you have excellent karma when it comes to deer hunting, you see more deer than anyone I know, congrats......now go get something BIGGERThumbsup

[knotreelly]

you owe no explanation at all. CONGRATULATION, excellent deer and with a bow, great venison

[kurt000111]

Buckmanjr you are an incredible kid, and a great outdoorsperson....I admire you....congrats on the deer.... and all those guys kidding you, theyre just jealous !!! heh heh.

[Jackie-T]

I would have thought it was a doe from that distance too. That will be some very tender venison. Thumbsup Congratulations on first buck.

[buckmanjr]

Thanks, may go out to the same stand again tonite.

[tacoma]

That should taste nice! A year old deer, nice and tender. Congrats on a successful hunt! I have to agree with your brother though...I think I definetely shot a coyote bigger than that monster!!! LOL But who am I to talk, you are one up on me!!! Congrats again and nice shot...how far did it go?

[buckmanjr]

Went about 150 yards. We would have never fond it if itwernt for our buddies that were looking for a deer they shot.

I dont have a brother.... lol Sledneck is just a nieghbor.

[noresman]

Good job any deer with the bow is a good one. Save some of that nice tender venison for an ice fishing get together!

[aaron smigiel]

nice buck wish i was there to see it!

[buckman]

Travis,
Stop picking on Jeff. you know he's my favoriteLaughing1 .Thanks for tracking with us last night.

[kurt000111]

Hey Buckmanjr ......I hope Disney doesn't find out that you shot that deer.....was Thumper close by ?? !!

(you GOTTA be a good sport to take all this grief !! )

[tacoma]

Ahh...thought sledneck was your brother this whole time!!!! My bad!

[buckman]

Laughing1 Those with empty freezers shouldn't trash talk.

[buckmanjr]

Went out to the same stand, may have heard one behind me but didnt see it. Gunna leave that stand alone for a little bit now.

[Crazy Joe]

Awesome! The last one I got I was 19 years old,(32 years ago)and it dressed out at 230lbs.Have not hunted since.I was never a good bow hunter,got mine with buck shot.Nice job,you should be proud! I wanted to hunt again,but,I'm to hooked on fishing,I guess.

[YOTE BUSTER]

Nice deer JR great story to go with itThumbsup Jackie's right that'll be the best eatin deer you ever had.I'd rather harvest 2 deer that size than a old tough racker that's for sure.Beerchug

[buckmanjr]

thanks yote, we are tryn to manage the deer back behind the house. We just found out the the farm it backs up to has a guy that hunts for the " Nusence" deer. We found out he may have taken as much as 10 deer last year alone! Theres a ton back there still, but if he wasnt back there, it could be even better.

[Sledneck]

Ahh...thought sledneck was your brother this whole time!!!! My bad!

Nope...I am not one of those damn Webers!!!!Tongue1

[buckmanjr]

Hey, if i remember correctly, i have shot 2 deer, and you have shot 3? Ur 10 years older than meWhat1 Like you dad said, im Batting 1,000 Thumbsup
That sucks about the guy that took 10 deer out there last year. Hopefully its not true.Mad1

Yea Jeff...I didn't hunt MA until three years ago...and I have taken a deer every year I have hunted in MA...so I am batting a thousand for MA.....you haven't put the long hours I have in tree stands in below 0 weather and still get skunked, Maine is alot different than hunting around here. You certainly see alot of der around here, but remember that the deer densities up north are a fraction of what we have here.....I am ok with my lack of success though, I enjoy the hunt and it just makes me appreciate a harvest all the more......I do things the Hard way...the tredneck way...

As for the 10 deer shot back there, I am sure it's true as I saw a couple carcasses on the farm last year, oh well.....

[buckmanjr]

ahaha, also if i remember, i missed a big buck last year in maine lol.
i hunt every day! last year i did, this year i was just realll lucky lol
Ya, i have seen some carcasses back there. Hopefully he doesnt shoot the big bucks.

[Sledneck]

yea, what ya gonna do? I hope one of us gets a beauty outta there this year, it would be reassuring that they are still there, I am not sure what he had shot last year, be it does or bucks, but I did see 3 or 4 doe carcasses.

[fisher16]

Buckmanjr I've updated the Maanglers.com Contest Forum "Big Buck Challenge Thread" with the info you provided.

[roncarr]
