Had this buck on camera 2 weeks into archery season. Hadn’t seen him since. Almost decide not to hunt this evening but I’m glad that I did. Saw his antlers poking over a downed tree about 10 after I got in the stand. I stood there with him in my cross hairs for about 30 then I grunted to get him off his feet. After he stood up I pulled the trigger and dropped him. It unfortunately was a head shot but I am still blessed to be able to harvest him!
