50 yard quartering away shot with my muzzleloader. Cold front of 10/13 had two new bucks show up on on my small, 1/4 acre food plot. This was the first time seeing this buck in person, or on camera. After I got a cell cam pick of a new buck at 11am that morning, and analyzing trail camera data from the last 3 years, I knew that multiple shooter bucks show up on this property around Oct. 15th every year. Having that intel, and the cold front, I knew I had to get out and sit.
