Big Ohio Buck During Rut


Weekend Woodsmen

Recommended Posts

During our annual rut vacation my buddy was able to get his personal best on the ground! The rut activity this year was pretty sporadic, but we had a couple good encounters. The warm weather has been killing us! Thankfully there were some cold(ish) mornings! This buck field dressed at 210, we figure he was a 4.5 year old. Now I just hope I can get one!

Hope you enjoy the video!

I thought for sure I was gonna see an arrow flung at him when he came back . Most shows/ video nowadays that seems to pass for an ethical shot. Then they make excuses when the hit isnt good' date=' Good video![/quote']

Thank you! It wasn't easy, but I just didn't feel good about it...I am not going to lie I came real close to hitting the trigger, but I am real glad I didn't because I am sure I would have immediately regretted it! Painful when I watch it back because I go through all the things I could have done different to get a shot! He actually tricked me on the side of the tree he was coming on (he came from directly behind me, so the first time he came through that lane I was still getting turned, but that's why I LOVE bow hunting!
