Hunt Story
Smisson was hunting a larger buck that was showing up on camera in the area just before dark. About 20 minutes before dark, this deer came out about 75 yards away, but was in the middle of some thick dog fennel in planted pines. The deer would not present a clear shot for about 10 minutes, but eventually made his way to the edge of the food plot at about 50 yards. This was not our main target buck but was mature and plenty big enough to shoot anyway. Smisson made a great double lung shot, and the deer ran about 40 yards. We only had a few pictures of this buck back in August when he was in still in velvet.
