I have been after this deer for a couple months after seeing him first appear in the background of my trail camera picture. I went to that spot and walked down a deer trail where I thought he came out at and put a stand further in the woods. This evening he came out chasing a doe and I shot him at around 200 yards with a .308 and he dropped in his tracks.
