Via email from Todd Hill from West Virginia:
Hey,
Here is
one of pictures' I promised I hope I can send a bunch more. Well here is the
story behind this 1st buck (scored 136 3/4 green). I came to scout this summer for 3.5 days. I
was really surprised I didn't see a lot of deer. My hunting partner Kevin Haenke
and I arrived a week before rifle season to get a handle on things. We saw a
few big deer while scouting and were ready for a good hunt after 2 days of
looking. We both have Kansas deer tags so we drove to KS. to look that
over.( I hope I can send you a pic of a of a bigger deer from there.) We
returned to MO. The day before the opener to hang our stands. Kevin had some bad
luck as the corn field he had planned to sit was being picked. This is why I am
not sending a picture of 2 bucks as he elected to sit in the same spot rather
than try and find a different spot so late. We were in our stands well before
daylight having not slept much the night before. I took some video of a smaller
buck chasing a doe. They left and at 9:00 am I saw this guy. Time to put the
camera away and get the gun. I can't began to tell you how great all the people
were. The landowners were telling us where the deer were where we could drive it
was great. Kevin stayed until he could just make it home (MI) for it's opener.
He was just as excited when he left as when we got there. If he kills off early
in KS. he says he is going to muzzleloader hunt MO. again. You guys have a great
thing going here. I am sure you don't get enough pats on the back but here's
one. THANKS MAHA. Gone Hunting, Todd Hill
