New lease...scouted for the first time on November 4th, hung the stand, and put out a camera on a mock scrape on the 5th. The first deer that showed up at the scrape on the 7th was a 13pt. On the first day in the stand on the 12th, I sat all day and took this 11pt with my bow at 14 yards hot on a doe. It was 4:30 pm, so I didn't take many pictures. I skipped a day for work, which I learned a few days later I would have had the opportunity at a mega 10pt with split brows...that hurt. The second day in the stand on the 14th, that 13pt that was the first deer I caught on camera, came through hot on a doe. He was trotting through at 30 yards, and I liver-shot him....didn't lead him enough. Fortunately, he stopped at 50 yards and gave me enough time to get off another bow shot and I nailed him. My longest-ever bow shot. And my shortest season ever, but it sure was a lot of fun! I can't wait to get back in there in 2024.

I think I would have had that buck turned the other way on that hitch hauler, his rack could hit oncoming traffic! Heckuva buck, congrats!

Buddy that's a bad break for sure!


It happens, I'm glad it was a clean miss. I looked for over an hour that evening and a few more hours today looking for any sign.


He was a pretty nice buck but I never saw that little pine when I shot. We found another hit on a tree after the pine and it looks like the bullet turned almost 90 degrees.
