Holding Ground

Went to move my climber to a different tree around midnight on saturday....as I was walking in i spooked a dominant 8 point from about 2 yards in front of me.  Being the idiot that I am I wanted to get a better look at him so i made an attempt at a grunting sound(no call) and turned my flashlight on(he was now 10 yards away).  Well this ****ed him off real bad, he stomped his feet a bunch of times and grunted back at me aggressively.  At that point i started talking and trying to scare him off becasue i didnt want get charged....i stood there for about 2 minutes and he held his ground at 10 yards and let me walk away, not him pretty scarey stuff.  Has anyone else ever had a buck act agressively towards them?

Yep, that happened to me this year, we were walking out of our stands after a long day. Walking the edge of a cornfield on a treeline. Deer were all over the field.

As we got close to the truck, there were 2 big bucks sparring right in our path. We waited, then tried grunting at them. They left, but 6 doe charged us from behind, Scared the hell outta me. I thought they were the buck. Needless to say, they are large animals and sometimes unpredictable!

Thats a sticky situation. I had a buck come in, i put estrous out before my days of archery. He walked up within arms reach of me, a huge body large racked 8pt. He looked at me like he wasnt scared at all and continued on. That started me into archery.

Chicken, i dont know what id do in that situation, prob call the game commission but i wouldnt be surprised if they thought it was a lie and wrote out a ticket.

A long time ago when i wasn 't in to bow hunting that much we enjoyed fall turkey hunting.I was sitting there one morning an saw a scrub seven point walking my way.I didn't pay much attention to him till he got 5 feet from me.He strated the head bob then he dug with both front feet.I was telling himing as loud is a could to talk his best bet is to leave me alone.He didn't listen he come about a foot away an wouldn't leave i was pretty scared.After about 5 minutes i thought i was going to get charged so i shot him in the face with a 3 inch mag.It blew his lower jaw off he went and laid down.I went down an cut his throat an drag him out.I don't know if a should of turned him in to PGC or not i was defend myself i was scared ****LESS

I hope your joking.  If not, I dont know how you call yourself a sportsman...pathetic.

Your best bet is to stay home...
 
Blew its jaw off at 5 feet??? nice shooting.. 

I know a guy that shot a black bear this year a sow. Was with 3 cubs. He was walking into his stand site half hour after day light walked into a sow and cubs, tried everything he could to get them to leave she charged him. He hide behind the tree and she was 9 feet from him ready to kill him so he knocked a shaft and she charged the second time. So he left a shaft fly shot her through the chest she spun around and headed down over a cliff. He called his friends they went looking for her after 2 hours later the shot her with a 06. He felt really bad what he had to do but it's almost the same thing someone going to kill you and you have a gun are you going to let them kill you first. Sure your not your going to defened yourself. It feels sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Either if you like it or not. I would have shot it too.

Ever think of just taking a shot in the air to try to scare it off???  There's many ways you could have avoided killing that animal...

That's just down right IGNORATE...... 

as mentioned your adult was not near... #1 illegal act
shot a deer while turkey hunting ... #2 illegal act
killed that same deer... #3 illegal act

I wish you would have called the PGC ....  maybe you would still not have a license.... which you certainly do not deserve to have ....

you're no sportsman and have now been added to my IGNORE list of people on this board....

You can call me what you want krott but i rather be pathetic then eating through a straw when he mauled and riped my guts out.I'm 100% for sure he would of charged me if i didn't shot him.Well hell he could of killed me.I was only 14 when this happen. 

If you were sure the deer was going to attack you, than why did it not attack you throughout that 5 min it was staring at you?  You had 5 min to yell, wave your arms, throw something at it.  I could of tried 100 things in 5 minutes to scare a deer away.  ****, I could of brewed up a fart and ripped it in 5 min instead of shooting it with a shotgun.  Hope I am never near you while in the woods.

Screw you bud.I read most of your post according to you your a expert then why haven't you killed a legal buck in 4 years or what ever you said.Yeah maybe i should of tried something different to get him away but i didn't oh well.So doc you would leave him ripe your guts because it's illegal if that's the case then anyone of you guys that agree with him have no sense.Y ou take all these pics maybe you should get a job on espn or some kind of hunting show MR. EXPERT SCREW YOU ASSSSHOLE.
