I always enter the field with a
game plan. I plan the hunt and hunt plan. But sometimes following a rigid game
plan has cost me a buck.
My son and I have planned a
two-man push on Thanksgiving morning. We passed five does on the way in to make
the push. The rut was winding down and there had to be a buck on the does.
I decided to stick with the plan
and to come back and hunt the doe group later in the day.
An hour later we heard a shot and
another hunter had killed a big buck off the does.
The lesson was learned. Don’t be
too rigid in your strategy that you overlook an opportunity right in front of
you.
