Here’s the story behind my Houston County Buck call Spilt.
It all started back in ‘17 when this buck caught my attention cause of the split G2. He was a 8 point but the G2’s had my attention. I’ve never killed a lot of deer at this point a 7 & 8 point nothing outstanding. All we ever got was pictures of him never seen him in person, he wasn’t spectacular just different than what I had hanging on the wall.
‘18 rolls around got some pictures of him, glad to see he made it! He came in a 9 point this year. The week before season started my son says “dad I think I want to shoot Split.” I said ok well see if we can make it happen. Opening morning I’m in the stand Split comes in & he is gorgeous. All I could do was watch him cause my son wanted to
shoot him. Saw him a few more times while I was by myself but just let walk. We never seen him when hunting with my son.
‘19 season gets here, he made it, this year his a 11 point. Second week end we got in front us & he will NOT give my son a shot! Directly facing us. Wouldn’t turn for nothing, then all of the sudden he bolted & was gone. Seen a few more times but he was out of range & wouldn’t in. He walks another year.
‘20 is here, this year he has small kicker on one of the split G2’s. Going through pictures we’ve got some good deer. My son says “dad we can’t let this deer walk this year. We’ve got to get him, either me or you.” Hunted 4 hunts didn’t even see a single deer any of those hunts. Here’s the funny part. I called my freind that owns the property where I hunt & tell him we’re coming to hunt. He says “ I sure hope y’all get’em. The neighbor seen him 3 days ago & put cameras in the edge of his woods & Split is traveling along his wood line. And he’s took a week vacation hunt him starting Saturday!” [emoji15][emoji15]
I was pumped about this hunt cause GarGuy said there would big some big bone hit the ground between Friday & Tuesday. We climbed in the stands around 1:30 Silas says “ dad remember we ain’t letting this deer walk.” & the wait begins. 2:30 seen nothing, 3:30 nothing, 4:30 nothing, 5:30 nothing haven’t even seen a squirrel!! Silas txt me & said he hears something to his right, I stand up & look. I can see him standing & looking around. We don’t see anything. 6:15 he txt me & hears something again. I stand & look around behind. I see deer movement.
