Hunt Story
I have watched this deer grow and mature over three years, opting against taking him many times last season with the rifle to allow him to grow. I had patterned him and he had been coming to this spot many days leading up to the kill, including a miss when he jumped the string a few days prior. On the day of kill, he came to the food plot with a smaller buck around 7:25. After about five minutes, he presented a broadside shot. I knew he was hit as he ran off. I immediately found blood but he was nowhere in the vicinity. With the help of some great friends and two dogs, we tracked him approximately 500 yards through planted pines and a brush filled clear-cut for nearly four hours, and finally found him just before midnight.
