On Deer Hunting
John and Jon, I had passed on several deer before harvesting the doe first in this picture. As luck would have she came by looking behind her many times. Assuming a buck was with her, I waited it out. It was a large racked buck, but luckily for his sake he only had one side. I decided to take the doe at that exact moment my contact fell out. After 3-4 minutes of trying to get it back in, I finally succeeded. I harvested the doe. The buck made a 10 yard circle around her and would not leave. Seeing how interested he was, I waited yet again in the hopes something else might show up. I proceeded to give up and took my safety belt off. I looked up and the buck in the picture came yards away from my tree. Thinking it was meant to be, I harvested the buck also. The other buck did not leave until I was 10 yards from him on the ground. All in all, some good memories. Thanks again for everything. Sincerely, Andrew Andrew's First MAHA Trophy
I wanted to let you know what a world class
organization you have and how my hunt this fall went. I was able to take my best
deer yet and here is the story that goes along with it. I found a property for bow hunting this
year that I really liked. I did not see much but the sign and conversations with
other members told' me there were plenty of deer on the property. When it came
to gun season I was the new guy and I did not want to step on anyone's toes.
Other members had hunted this property for years so I asked Jon to direct me to
a less pressured property. I checked it out in the last few weeks before the
season and I decided that it was to far away and I had insufficient time to
scout, although I plan to return, as the property looked great. As it turned
out, I placed my stand on a "small" 5-7 acres that no one hunted. I
was not expecting much. My thinking was no one hunted here so it must not be
that great of a spot. I had scouted it though and the sign and sightings looked
promising. Opening morning, after 15 minutes of daylight, I was able harvest
this personal trophy. Upon dragging it out, I found a fresh scrape that he had
just worked. I harvested another personal trophy in my previous residence
Wisconsin exactly one week later. What a season it has been, hopefully next year
will prove as fruitful. Again, I can not say enough about MAHA. It
really does give one the best bang for your "buck". I would recommend
it to anyone. Turkey season is just around the comer, and I can not wait. Good luck to all, Andrew
Take look at Andrew's success at spring turkey hunting and read his letters about how he enjoys the quality of the hunt and the success is secondary. |
Dear Jon and
John,
