[QUOTE="M5farm, post: 1136633, member: 18487"] Our hunting lease is a seed orchard, there is around 100 acres in the orchard and pines and hard woods surround it on 3 sides. In early January the deer hang out all night in the orchard part and go into the woods around daylight. My dad called me one evening and asked me to come down to the seed orchard the next morning at daylight and ride thru before I went to work. He had seen a nice buck several times but he couldn't get a shot on him. He had planned to walk the long way around and get in his stand without disturbing the deer in the orchard. I got up that morning and got to the main gate a little before daylight. I just switched the truck off and waited till I could see pretty good. As I was opening the gate I saw a few does a couple hundred yards out. As I turned to key in the lock I spotted a buck with them. I got my rifle and free handed a shot and he went down. I finished opening the gate and drove out to the buck. I nice 9 pt I kept my word and made a round thru the orchard and came back and loaded up the deer went and skint him out. I stepped it to 267 steps. Later in the morning my dad called and asked if I had driven around the orchard as he requested cause he hadn't seen anything. I asked if he heard a shot he said he heard one on the river about daylight. I told him it wasn't on the river and to look in the back freezer. I had caped it out and had put the head in it. He said he wasn't mad but it was the one he had seen and couldn't get a shot on it. [/QUOTE]
