Hunt Story

I had a few trail camera pictures off and on of this buck. He would randomly show up and then vanish for a few days before I would see him again. He has done this since the start of the hunting season. Never had a good camera picture of him always just a side view. Thanksgiving afternoon I decided I wouldn’t hunt after getting my wife to her deer stand so I went and talked to some buddies. Prime time hunting hit & he showed up on my trail camera. One of my buddies kept pushing me to hunt this deer saying “ he is bigger than you think.” Sunday morning rolls around I got up to go hunt and it was pouring rain. I went and got me some breakfast thinking if the rain passes I will go sit and give it a try. About 7:30 a.m. the rain eased off I walked to the stand sat for about 45 mins to an hour and a doe came out feeding around. After she was there about 10 minutes I saw him easing out of the woods into a clearing! Glad my buddy kept pushing me to hunt this deer cause he was way more than I ever gave him credit for!
