Passed this buck twice last year knowing he would be a mature deer this year. I was hoping he would make it through the year! Beginning of July I set my cameras out and started feeding them mineral, and it didn’t take long for this Ol boy to show up and quickly my eyes were set on this deer! I had gotten plenty of pics of him all summer and going into the season. Quickly as the season started he began to go nocturnal, only giving me one daylight pic once the season began. I tracked him in several different places to the point where it kept me up at night, before I settled on this spot. I sat every chance I could get, hoping he would show. Finally on my 5th hunt, him and the bachelor group he was with including 6 other bucks came out giving me a shot at him at 23 yards! I made a good shot and he didn’t go far! I shot him with my Matthews V3 bow out of my saddle. He is my biggest to date NC buck! I got to kill him on my family farm that I grew up on and was taught how to hunt on!
