From the northern outpost of Doubletough country, Bubba Enget forwards this report of his buddy Stewart Kline and his (nearly) New Year’s buck. Stewart was featured in an earlier post, “Buck In Cock Country”. In that post he bagged a fine muley and now he’s put down a monster whitetail:
-9 is when the men are out and the rest stay home, been watching this buck for 2 weeks and waiting for the wind to be right. Finally got a south wind and the hunt was on. The deer moved late. I watched as this and four other bucks skirted me at 50 yards. I had about three minutes of light left and he walked over to where I was, I drew and held as he was facing me for about two minutes. He took one step and gave me a little window where I drove my spitfire through one shoulder, two ribs,and both lungs. Game over.
Stewart hails from Alexander, North Dakota and shoots a Matthews Solocam Switchback XT. It was not the ideal shot as the buck was facing him, slightly off center, but after a patient two weeks and the season on the line, he confidently put a Doubletough smackdown on this buck. Bubba and Stewart figure the buck was pushing four years of age and scoring somewhere around 150 (hey guys, having Trophy Score in your pocket would remove the guesswork!).
He had a couple pans coming off his bases that you can see in one of pictures. He also has a lot of stickers that come off his G2, G3′s
Congratulations to Stewart on a great ’09 season and for you dear reader, there’s your incentive; you’ve got a year to practice your shot, your patience and don’t forget a good pair of longjohns.
