first let me thank ryan, aka massive horns, for organizing the hunt and showing great hospitality. your a class act ryno and im proud to call you my buddy.
i met a bunch of new guys from the forums. texas dave, slow jim, dan b, striperdoc and some others that i forgot their names, sorry. all great fellows.
the cabin my buddy rick and i stayed in at holmes bend was awsome. great view, very commfy, nice parking, laundry was close and convenient.
now for the hunting. i didnt get a deer but that was totaly my fault. i shot a doe high on thursday night and couldnt find blood anywhere. rick and i felt best to leave the area and return in the morning. went back the next morning with ryan and rick. we couldnt find anything but the broadhead half of my arrow. no blood, just meat. we walked the area and couldnt find anything. its a real sh.tty feeling knowing you wounded such a beautiful, graceful creature. i didnt think the shot was that bad but obviously it was.
monday morning my buddy rick also shot a doe and a seven point with a 15 in. spread. he made a 30 yrd shot on the doe. he said he hit high too. we found the arrow with meat and also no blood. we searched the area for 2 1/2 hrs. with no sign of her. i cant believe this happened this week. ive never shot a deer and not recovered it. it makes ya just want to give up on hunting all together. he made a perfect 35yrd heart shot on the buck. ive never seen a blood trail like that. blood everywhere and the deer about 80-100yrds away.
i will definetly be going back to green river next year. rick and i found an area that ryan says isnt hunted very often and definetly has a good population and quality of whitetails. the only time we didnt see deer in this area is when ryno wanted to bring the bad luck camera along, well it was either the camera or ryan smelled
.
here are some pics:
nice view
dinner
