The wide 8

[at1010]

Here he is!

9/30/2023 and my season is over (for bucks) in the great buckeye state!

This is a deer I passed several times last year and he made an impressive jump this year as what I believe is a 4.5 year old. This year he was just so patterned and I needed to make a move early - I got lucky and it worked.

Thank you to all the landowners who allow me to hunt their farms.

Thank you to my friends who put up with the constant strategy questions.

Thank you to my beautiful wife for putting up with this crazy obsession I have with the coolest animals on the planet.

Shot him at 12 yards
Qtr away
Double lung
Weighed 196 gutted
200 yard track - crazy!!

Until next the next chase….

Wishing everyone a safe and blessed hunting season.
