Mt Buck

After a great season with my daughter what could get better. I have taken some great deer with my bow and some so so ones with my gun. I spotted this guy early in the season while doing some glassing with Cassie. There were three big bucks together in a draw with this being the 2nd biggest. I know the area well where this deer was at and knew that I would have to wait for him to make a mistake. One night I was about 3/4 miles away from where I had first seen him and there he was behind about eight does. He was staying back and never came out in the field with the does. I knew then that those does were going to be his mistake. I had my long change coming up and hunted hard for 4 days with no luck checking the field often. On day 5 I was sitting above the field early in the am and he was out but I had no way to get to him. That night was a differant story. I met up with a buddy and we came up with a plan. we got within 250 yards and he started to move away from us not getting a shot we relocated and got within the same distance with him moving away I let it rip not the best shot to be proud of but knew I would only have one chance at this deer. Gotta love Barnes .308 130gr. ttsx. I did recovemy first ttsx bullet. Well it didn't work out like we thought but in the end the biggest NT buck I have harvested is down.
