Dennis Shoots Big Buck

Dennis Klass Shoots Big Buck

This was the year that I made every effort for a good hunt. I scouted. I watched when and were the deer were coming from. I put out scent bombs.

Then came opening day. I sat and I sat and didn't see a single deer. I waited until 4pm and was getting restless. I stood up, turned around and finally I see a deer.

The big deer was about 1200 yards away and running in my direction.

The only problem was there were four hunters between me and that deer.

I kept watching as it ran across one field and cut between two hunters. They must have been napping because the big deer ran on by.

The deer crossed a small hedge into another field still running directly in my direction. This was the first time I saw his rack.

Now I was really getting nervous because there were still two deer hunters in the two corners of this clover field.

The two deer hunters didn't notice the big buck at first. By this time the deer was only 100 yards away and still running towards me. When the buck was just 75 yards out, I heard  BOOM!! 

I guess they finally noticed it!! But what’s this? The big buck is still running towards me. They missed!

In fact the big buck is now right under my deer hunting tree stand.

I take aim, shoot, and pick out a spot on my wall for this great deer.

Thanks Fred Vorrassi for doing a great taxidermy job.

 As for my deer hunting story, well the only thing I can tell you is that it was just dumb luck.

 But as a great man once said, “I would rather be lucky than good any day.”

 I am hoping I will be just as lucky this year too.
