The hunters wasted no time either. Indeed, all four hunters in camp collected bucks the very first day of the hunt. Two in the morning; two in the evening. This seems to be a recurring pattern at the McManus Camp. Four-for-four on Day One, and one of the bucks had an 8 inch drop-tine. How could it get any better?
Here's how. Beaver was offering second-bucks, and darned if the second-best buck of the season wasn't taken. Being "second-best" doesn't quite fit here, because the # 1 buck taken a week ago just happens to be the best we've ever taken. In fact, this # 2 buck is the second-largest buck ever taken at the McManus Camp since its initial hunt back in 1989. He's a butter-melter if there ever was one.
In camp was a party of two from PA and a party of two from Louisana. The Pennsylvania pair, Darl Hospelhorn and Ed Miller, live right next door to each other in Waynesboro. They had hunted the McManus Camp previously, and have already booked back for '08 and '09. The Louisana hunters, Brian Cespiva and David Ducote live in Pineville. The only bad deal about the whole hunt was David's stomach problems. He just didn't feel right the whole time, and doggone the luck anyway. We hope he's better by now. It's no fun being sick while on a hunting trip.
It was Darl who collected the drop-tine buck. Actually, it might be better described as a "side-tine". The thing was 8 1/4 inches long, and stuck straight out off the right antler just above the base. Remarkably, the buck weighed 188 lbs. No telling what he would have weighed back around the first of November.
