Just got back from 44!
Heck of a fun hunt! I was unable to locate the absolute giants that 44 can produce but saw well over 100 4pt bucks in the scouting days and 4 days of hunting before i decided to take this buck. I was able to stalk and pass on several bucks that I would never pass on most hunts including a cool buck that double cheaters on each side. Had him less than 50 yards with my bow in hand. But it was the first day and decided to hold off.
had about 8-10” of snow on Tues before opening day and cold temps come Wed with clear sky’s (minus 6 when we parked the truck) which led to an unreal opening day. Saw bucks breeding does, a full on butt kicking the buck I shot put on that Cheater buck and all sorts of rutting action. A day I will never forget.
The temps then sky rocketed the following days and really slowed things down. On Saturday my fourth day out of the five day season i decided to find the best buck we could and pull out the gun.
Thanks to all those that helped and especially to my two great buddies who gave up their time to help me!
What a ride.
