Erathkid invited me to go deer hunting over the weekend. Stayed at his cabin and hunted Chaulk Mountain. We hunted over an oat patch Friday afternoon and this fella walked out.
Thanks Mike for making a hard year for me a better one for sure!! I really enjoyed it!

Man, you can't beat that.

that's awesome. Congrats bud

Good buck Curly. Congrats

Very cool

good lookin buck curly, congrats, awesome gesture EK.

What a great weekend. I am tickled pink. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I hope you don't mind me telling the story. We got in the stand at about 16:00, Two beers later a deer walks out. Looking through the binos I could see that it was a nubbin buck, but he was a heavy looking deer. I told Curly, "it's a legal deer, you can take him if you want him, but it's still early and we can hunt all weekend". He said, after reading the post,"I shot a nubbin buck and you would have thought I farted in church" he decided to wait. The nubber was acting scared and kept looking back in the brush. I thought to myself, there's a buck that's been messin' with him. He left and then about five minutes later Curly says "Mike there's another buck". I was looking through the binos and could see he would make ARs. He was breathing hard and asking me, "is he legal, is he legal? I replied, Yeah, he's le (kaboom) gal... I had more fun being the guide than I've had in years. Success. We partied that night with Mr.Beam. I was telling him "Beam me up Curly". It was fantastic. I couldn't be more proud of you buddy.

Sounds like a great time, great friends, and a great buck! Congrats! Enjoyed reading the story

Oh yeh, I forgot to mention that he ran about 30 yards into the bush. This sight made us happy, happy, happy:

Freaking awesome!! IMO, it couldn't have happened to anyone better than you Curly

Curly, speaking from experience. After being down at Mikes for a couple of Days it takeas about a week to Detox

Awesome. Congrats Curly!

Outstanding buck Curly. Wish I could of joined ya'll but work got in the way. Good times with fellow THFers. Doesn't get any better than that.

That's awesome. Congrat's Curly.

Every buck we saw had lovin' on his mind. About two hours before we got this deer we went gathering firewood, Curly says, is that a cow standing back in the brush? I pulled the truck up a little bit and big boy was standing there looking at us, a massive buck. He gave us a quick glimpse and then he was gone. Saturday evening I thought we would drive our easement road and look for hogs. We crossed the creek and came up a steep bank and right on the side of the road about 60 yards down there's a doe standing at the edge of the cedars then we caught a quick glimpse of a BIG rack right behind her. They left pretty quick and we didn't see them again. Saturday, my nieces boyfriend was hunting for a big spike that we've seen over and over. This was at noon. A doe came out with her tongue hanging out and right behind her was a big ten point with a huge neck and heavy beams. He wasn't given the OK to shoot anything but the spike so he just watched them at about 20 yards away. That took a lot of restraint. Way to go Chance.

Chance follows instructions really well!

"Beam me up Curly"

Great write up and buck, Congrats!!!!
