Got him

Recommended Posts

A few days ago I posted a pic of a buck I got on camera. Well this morning he fell victim to a well placed muzzy.

The wind was out of the SW. It was perfect for him to scent check the woods I was sitting on the edge of before he went to bed. He came down the edge of the plowed field behind me instead of the trail I was looking at, 20 yds into the woods. If he didn't break a branch before he got close, he would've snuck right by without me knowing. I drilled him at 13 yds at he turned and ran back the way he came and out of sight. I had a cup of coffee and calmed down, sent a few BBD texts and climbed down. My buddy met me where the buck went into the woods and we followed a bubbly red blood trail for 30 yds until we found him. Not the biggest rack (122 7/8") but he dressed at 212 lbs!

Thanks guys. I'm pretty sure he was the boss in that block of woods. At least from what I've seen. Now I have to shift locations and plan a strategy to get this guy. I've been after him for 3 yrs now and hope he's still around and just as big. I placed a camera near my stand in that block about a week ago hoping to catch him cruising.

Cut out the inner loins that afternoon and put them in a bag with some Dales seasoning to marinade a bit. Grilled them whole over hardwood charcoal to a juicy med rare. Served with fried potatoes and onions, peas, and smothered the loins in mushrooms and onions. Fresh baked rolls to soak up the juicy goodness. Damn, now I'm hungry
