Why not get the job done early?!

Andy Engler and Bob Gillespie had a Morning to Remember!

It was definitely a memorable early season morning.  With higher than normal temperatures and a very uncommon eastern wind, the odds seemed to be stacked against them.  However, the weekend was open and mowing needed to be done at the farm, so Andy, Jake and Bob decided to go up.  Saturday was a day of work, and Sunday was the reward.

Sunday morning, Bob sat in one of our better stands which is perfect for a southern wind.  It is a great stand to catch deer moving towards a bedding area after feeding.  After a few unsuccessful hours, he looked up to find 5 bucks grouped together working towards him.  Out of the 5, 4 of them were shooters.  He picked the biggest bodied (oldest) deer and look at the result!  We are guessing the buck is at least 6 years old.  His neck looks like it is in full rut.

After the shot was landed, the other 4 bucks scattered.  Two of them made their way up to Andy.  He looked up and was shocked to see both bucks working their way towards him.  He picked the biggest one and landed a great shot.  Check it out. Very similar rack, just a little younger of a buck.

Ultimately, it was an awesome morning that produced two awesome bucks!
