huntinguide Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Being able to live on the property that I hunt and manage gives me great opportunity to take inventory of the deer that I have. After a year of shed hunting and all summer of trail cam pics I had been discouraged because I had not found anything worth hunting. Around the end of October driving around on the property I spotted what I thought was a great deer. I put a trail camera in thea area I thought he was living. 2 days later I go in and check it and this guy is on there. My good friend Ryan and I put a plan together of what we thought he was doing on a daily basis and his home area. This deer was living in an 80 acres swamp 3 feet of water with just the perimeter dry. Saturday evening I go to hunt and this guy walks out and I make a horrible shot. I caught shoulder blade with no penetration and no harm to the deer. We looked and looked and looked never found him I went back to his bedding area and jumped him up with a doe. I knew he was doing okay I knew he was back on his daily routine so I set a game plan for the next morning. Took a climber and my bow into his bedding area. Set up on a rub line and at first light a doe ran by. Not far behind was this boy 22 yards double lung top of heart ran 60 yards my years complete.

huntinsonovagun Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Congrats again. It was fun strategizing on this deer with you. Probably the biggest dead deer ill ever see in person. You've had a rough couple of weeks and I'm stoked you were able to put this giant down with the bow. He'll be tough to top, both rack-wise and story-wise!
