I had been chasing this deer for around a week and a half to 2 weeks. He was showing up on a camera at a property and he never slipped up during shooting time. He then started showing up at another property down the road. After a few hunts I finally caught him chasing. He gave me a good shot at 285 yards and the 6.5 creedmoor got it done. As I walked up to him I thought he was a 12 point. It wasn’t until I walked up to him that I noticed the drop tine right beside his head. It is definitely a hunt and experience that I will never forget.
