Hunt Story
I own 93 acres, on this particular piece of land has a lot of bucks traveling through this area. I have trail-cam pictures of him all year long. I have to try and get a quick kill, I’ve been growing bucks here for years but it seams my neighbor usually gets them before I do. We all trophy hunt around there. It seems I go in there and feed them after lunch and then I load up and leave. We’ll this Saturday afternoon I fed them and didn’t go home, I hunted and had deer all around me that afternoon. Then about 20 minutes to 7, I saw a deer 200 yards away. I pull up my binoculars put it on him and sure enough it was him. He ate his way up toward the feeder, it took him 15 minutes to get up there and give me a shot. I was waiting on him, a shot and a drop right in his tracks. What a relief the biggest buck got killed up here in Washington County in seven years.
