I hate them trespassers they usually ruin things but sounds like you benefitted from these ones.

Thats great. I like to here of others out with bows during hun season. I had a similar thing happen to me. It was actually last Saturday am. The sun was coming up and I could hear a buck grunting up a storm in the distance.  After about 15 minutes I then heard two shots and saw a nice buck come my way and stop in my shooting lane but still 50 yds out. Then the gun fire continued and I saw he was wounded. He did get into the woods and then about 3o minutes later the gunner showed up to look for him. Here is the problem. The guy was shooting in an area that you are not allowed to use a gun for deer hunting AND the deer he was shooting at was not on his property. And to top is off he wounded a 110 inch deer that will probably die now and not be around to be a 130+ inch deer next year.

People....


Glad your story turned out to your advantage.

Tim did you get it on video and did you call tip?

[Mayfly]

We didn't get it on video. The shooting was so close it spooked us! My camera guy was actually taking cover! I was looking at the house behind us because I thought the shots were coming from there which would on put us almost in the line of fire. It was a mess! It only lasted about 30 seconds of that. So... unfortunately, we did not get it on video. BUT.. I did call TIP, actually apoke directly with a CO and he wouldn't come out. Said I would have to get in touch with the local cop as its a city ordinance. But the time I got in touch with the cops the smoke had cleared.

NO THEY WERE IN THERE STAND WHEN i LEFT. i WISH i COULD HAVE CONFRUNTED THEM THAT IS THE DEAL i HAVE WITH THE FARMER iF i SEE ANYONE BUT HIM ON THE PROPERTY CHASE THEM OFF. IF THEY WERE AT THERE TRUCK i WOULD HAVE WENT OVER THERE BUT SOMETHING FREAKS ME OUT ABOUT APROCHING TWO MEN WITH GUNS THAT ARE AT A HIGHER ELAVATION THEN MYSELF. i WOULD HAVE CONTACTED THE AUTHORATIES BUT i WAS IN A BIT OF A JAM. MY WIFE HAD TO BE A WORK AT 11:30 AND i STILL HAD TO GUT MY FIRST DEER. AND i DID NOT EVEN GET OUT OF MY STAND TO LOOK FOR HIM FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SHURE HE WAS DEAD. BOY THAT WAS A LONG HOUR.

Congrats on the nice buck beaner!  Sorry to hear that that very special moment was spoiled by some numb nuts!  Here's to your future hunts not having any negative moments!
