The Shaman Gets His Buck
This morning SuperCore went to Jagendehutte, Remnar went to Lazy Boy and I went back out for a sit at Midway. I did not have long to wait. At 0710, 20 minutes into legal hunting, a nice doe came out of Left Leg Creek and wandered out into the pasture about 100 yards from the blind. I watched her cross the field into the treeline at the Campground.
Shortly thereafter, a 8-point buck came out to the edge of the Garden of Stone. I grabbed the Mauser from Hell and got a bead on him. He was just stepping out of the weeds when I touched it off. It dropped him in weeds. I radioed in and then went out to retrieve him. The doe came running out of the treeline and ran back the way of the buck. When I got out to the field, there was no carcass. I was just starting to look when I spied his white chest down the hill less than twenty yards. Right about then the doe started blowing. I made sure the buck was finished and then went back to retrieve the truck.
I picked up Remnar on the way back out. We put a rope down to the buck and then Remnar guided while I towed the buck out of the woods into the field. Remnar had seen a doe earlier in the morning. SuperCore saw little from Jagendehutte.  The buck’s live weight was 185 or thereabouts; it was noticeably heavier than SuperCore’s buck from the day before.
It all went smoothly after that. I made short work of the buck at the meatpole and then loaded him up for the ride to the processor in Lenoxburg. We had a good breakfast there before coming back for our afternoon hunt. Remnar is going to his new stand at Fountain Square.
