Hunt Story
My buddy and I had been targeting several shooter bucks on our cameras. We hunted hard for 3 or 4 days with no luck. The last night before my buddy had to leave, we got a new picture of a nice 11-point buck. The next day, we planned to leave out around 9 am, so I headed back at that time. On the way, I turned the corner to see several turkeys in the logging road, and behind them, stood the 11-point. I shot and felt good about it. My buddy came and we trailed blood until we found this awesome buck. You never know when God will send you a blessing! This buck was an 11-point that weighed 200 pounds.
