WHISKEYSWAMP Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 I shot this buck last night during Ohio's week long gun law season. We had a cold front come through Thursday evening which got the big boys back out on their feet. I watched this guy from 400 yards away walk within range of one of my other stands. With the snow still flying Friday, I set up a natural ground blind not far from the stand. I opted to sit on ground to take advantage of using snow camos... deer always seem to look right through them. I also figured it would be warmer..lol Around 4:30 several does came out of the woods and crossed to my side of the field and feed around me at 10 yards. They all seemed to look back at the woods all at once when the buck started crossing toward them. They scurried north along the fence and I got the cross hairs on the buck. I waited for him to hit my shooting lane and let him have it... about 50 yard perfect shot. He ran off and piled up about 250 yards away... further than I would have expected. It was tough tracking with the snow covering blood quick but mostly followed his prints. He has 14 points and is my biggest buck. He was also the number one buck my buddy and I were after this year. I'm hoping to have him officially green scored tonight. [/url] [/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHISKEYSWAMP Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thanks guys! Yes wtnhunt... Last year this buck was most active, or at least seen, after the rut when a cold front would come through, and always in the same field. I was banking on getting an opportunity at him based on last years late season behavior... his gross green score is 168. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
