Awesome deer and what a great story. Cool you have been able to watch him so long. And spend the small fortune on the Ritz type blind you built. I love it! You only confirm my thoughts that the shotgun or whatever season they are driving deer, pushes them into those quiet areas where guys like you have the discipline to not shoot. Until one like him comes along. I know the feeling of practicing long range. But I, for one, am so happy when they come into "chip shot" range even though I practiced for much farther. Way to hunt!

Thanks IAML. I wish you owned land in my neighborhood, from reading about your harvest I think we would get along just fine! Love the mass on your buck, looks like a southern IA deer. Even the "big" ones we see up here just dont seem to carry the mass that the southern and far NE IA deer do. |

Wow....now that's a hunt! Most guys don't have the attention span to do it right. Great story.
Numbers in my area are half what they were 10 years ago also. Funny how there can be " too many deer" and then the shotgun season comes and guys about get skunked...and to keep from eating tags they whack every 1.5 yr old they see....it's frustrating at times even in deertopia. Nice to see a dedicated guy make it happen.
