It can be really tough to shoot a buck during a warm spell in November. That was the case when I finally caught up with this deer.View post →
He was a good buck but a pointed reminder that body size can definitely skew your perception of antler size.View post →
Despite the fact that swirling winds played havoc with my stand location, I was fortunate to shoot this buck shortly before the end of legal shooting time.View post →
As the old saying goes, it is better to be lucky than good. I was lucky on this hunt as the buck turned and walked toward me after I missed the first shot.View post →
I shot this buck just before noon. Had I not seen him bed down nearby, I would have been long gone because I didn't see another deer for three hours.View post →
I made a good clean heart shot and this buck circled and then fell right at the base of my tree. I had to step over him when I climbed down.View post →
Though I almost gave up on this stand because of snorting does when the morning began, an hour after they left I was able to call in this buck.View post →
I killed this buck with a walking shot at 15 yards. Believe it or not, the buck never knew the arrow hit him. He never even broke stride.View post →
