The whole Iron Gate crew headed into the hills with bows in hand, chasing bucks that were croaking in full rut. Plenty of big fallow around and even a giant red stag roaring not far from camp. The kind of soundtrack that gets you out of the swag in the middle of the night.
Didn’t get any on the ground this year. Came close a few times. Had several chances inside 30m, but bowhunting happens in seconds, and they never stand still the way you want them to. 😂
Already counting down to next year.
