The lighter side of SimplyOutdoors.net
I got to thinking today that I really needed for my next post to be a bit on the lighter side. Lately I have been touching on some very important subjects, and things I feel very strongly about, but I don’t want everyone to think that I am always so serious. I figure the best way to lighten the mood is to tell a story.
Jeff and I used to (Jeff still does) hunt this little parcel of land that was not very far from our parents house. It was a perfect little place that most people wouldn’t think would hold deer and that is exactly the reason why it did. The only downside to the location was that it was close to quite a few houses and thus was exposed to many people and a variey of animals; domestic and wild. Little did we know that those domestic animals would help us out one day.
I might screw this story up a little because it didn’t happen to me, it happened to Jeff, but the conclusion is the important part and I know exactly what happened there.
Jeff was hunting one day at this property and heard some commotion behind him. The commotion was a buck in full rut with his nose to the ground following a CAT! You all know I couldn’t make that story up if I tried. This buck came hauling through the field grunting and everything following a cat. The commotion even brought another bigger 
buck in to investigate, but unfortunately Jeff couldn’t get a shot. I am happy to report though that Jeff did shoot the Cat buck.
So the moral here is that deer adapt to many different situations and are apparently trying to spread their seed into the domesticated world. They’re plotting their next move to keep the species alive. Unfortunately for them Jeff killed there initial chances.
Disclaimer – A few of the things in this story could be slightly off, but the main thing that is right is that Jeff did shoot a buck that came into him following a domestic cat. Great, great stuff.

And if you remember right I shot him twice!(long story)also a few weeks later I missed a buck that was following two cats down a fence row not 300 yards from where i shot the 1st one.
Also if you want to see a pic of the cat buck its on the 2nd page of the deer pictures in the middle on the bottom…And yes that is before i realized i was going bald!
I added the picture to the post. I thought that was the one, but I tried to call you and it went straight to voicemail.
Hmmm…this gets me thinking for new rut tactics!
Great story…and congrats to Jeff on the buck!
Great story and perfect last line.
Too funny. Maybe this will spark a new hunting tactic. Deer hunting with cats. It could catch on!
Stories are always nice to hear or read. They might vary from one telling or the other it is only natural they do that.
Congratulations to Jeff on the buck.
with crazy stories like that, I am going to have to get you to guest blog over here on my site.
Love the story, love the cat, love the deer, and really love the picture!
I can just see Tinks coming out with a new lure now. Great story, and congrats to Jeff on his new successful tactic.
