Double Kicker Buck Hunt - Day 7
Can't Believe He's Back Again

At deer thirty two I saw 2 does and a small spike coming in my direction.

Then from the other side two more does came into the area. 

And another doe and then a doe with this year's fawn.

Bingo! The antlers of Double Kicker and his Buddy poked up over the top of the weeds and high grass. A 6-point came from my right and the Buddy started toward the deer and Double Kicker followed. I can't believe my good luck.

Double Kicker stopped statue still at the edge of the high grass and watched the deer. 

Finally he started walking. 

No time to fool around now. I sat my camera on the ground and put the Nikon range finder's cross hair on him, 25 yards. He moved the sixer and several of the does out of his way. 23 yards. I hooked my FletchHunter release to the string loop on my BowTech and waited for him to step a couple yards closer. He didn't. 

And, as the saying goes, "to add insult to injury" all the bucks walked to the gravel road in front of my home and I caught distant glimpses of them walking single file along the neighbors fence.

I know what you're thinking, and I goofed up by not shooting. But if I don't feel right about the shot I don't take it. And Double Kicker put me to the test this afternoon.

If I never see him again it's been a tereffic hunt. And that said, he doesn't have a clue I'm hanging out with him, maybe he will be back.
