My season is over. I had a great encounter with an 11 that is gonna be a stud next year. I made up my mind a few weeks ago to let him walk if given the chance. So I shot him with the video camera.
About 15 minutes behind him was the 8 I was after. When he came into the clearing the bad news hit me... he shed one side. So, it’s now shed season! Lol
I consider it a win that I could’ve killed the 11 assuming I sealed the deal properly. And it’s a bit of closure knowing the 8 should survive to hunt next year as well.
Here’s video of the 11. Sorry it’s blurry. Not sure why YouTube does that.
