Well I got a phone call and a picture text telling me some bad news. I’m not gonna sit here and tell you I’m not bummed and upset cause I am. We pass deer all the time trying to get some age structure to our bucks. Lucky, my nice 4 yr old died last night to my neighbors somewhere just north of me. It’s a deer anyone would should so not mad at the hunter. Heard he scored 145”, it’s hard for people to not shoot a 3 yr old much less a 4 yr old but here I am. Got to do some soul searching cause trying to grow and get good deer isn’t working here. Time to just shoot 120” class deer and be happy about it. I know many of yall have had your good deer killed by the neighbors, but it’s not like I hold or see a lot of bucks. Anyway rant over. Sitting in the stand now and just might shoot the first brown deer I see and say fuck it go duck hunting.

would’ve been in the 160’s next year.

Nothings guaranteed, why waste time and energy on something you can't control (the anguise part, not the pursuit)? So many opportunities for this animal to die between now and 160", of not even get there due to genetics or health. Hope u kill something 2nite w/that nasty LSU undershirt, and enjoy every bite of those backstraps when the time comes.

Beautiful southern whitetail!

Two more weeks and he makes it another year. I’m done hunting for big bucks, time to get down to stacking them up. Those genetics don’t happen here much, hardly at all. I’m a little bitter at the moment. Can you tell?

Sorry man. We have had many of talks about this deer and I know what he meant to your camp.

Nick sorry your target buck got shot elsewhere... Makes two of us that lost bucks to neighbors... As long as you have neighbors that hunt it's next to impossible to grow big bucks... We pass on nice bucks every year and never see them the next year... Where do they go??? I'm still waiting on that giant some guys been watching 3 miles away show up in front of me on our farm... Never gonna happen...
