So I got there this morning at around 7:30 and after we ate a biscuit and I gave Brandon a 30 minute introductory tutorial on throw n mow we got started… ..Otis got on the track pretty good at first but the sign was sparse and there wasnt much scent on the ground for him to pick up. He was really having to dig…. He would progress the line 50-75 yards and then have to loop and search…..progress it 50-75 and then loop and search…..It looked like the buck was moving sporadically from spot to spot instead of traveling a straight line and I think that was what was giving Otis such fits with their being such little scent. It took him a little while but he finally got on a good little run at about the 600 yard mark and he had just gotten out of our site when we heard him cut loose!!!.......YEP!!!.....YEP!!!......YEP!!!!......YEP!!!!.......and just like that it was ON!!!!
The buck got up out of his bed and squared off on Otis and was charging at him when I topped the hill and first saw them……He broke and ran about 20 yards and Otis locked him down again….While this is going on I’m getting my 30-30 off of my back and trying to work my way in for a shot…..We we’re just about in position and ready to tone Otis off him when I’m pretty sure the buck spotted us……He broke and ran with Otis right on his tail trying to lock him down again. After they got a couple hundred yards out though I had to call him back as they crossed the property line……That’s when we pulled back so Brandon could call some folks.
