Attaway Lundy!
Always cool to have the "before" pics to go with the "after" :smiley_clap:
I'll bet the weapon of choice was a....muzzleloader!

Congrats and nice picture.
What is the item on the left of the picture? It looks like a jar with a red lid.

Thanks,
Actually it was not with my muzzleloader. I hunted in very think area yesterday with shot opportunities all pretty close and lots of brush, briar's limbs, everywhere. As much as I love my MZ and how I can reach out a ways with it if I need to there is just too much potential junk to hit in this area that I hunted yesterday. I carried my 12 ga Ultra Slugster for the larger heavier slug and capability of a faster followup shot if required. It wasn't needed
Just felt I needed to carry the right tool for where I was hunting.
The jar with the red lid was a jar of peanut butter I put up back in late Sept to see how the deer would react to it. I had read on the Internet, (so it must be true), that the deer love it. I put out 3 jars around the property and put a camera on all of them. The deer paid little to no attention to the peanut butter, the coons LOVED it.

No big story on this one.
I had my first picture of him, one pic, on 9/4. I did not get another pic of him until 10/22. On those pics it was beautiful daylight and over 50 pics. NO MORE pics in what I thought was is home area until 11/20 and again it was one pic, but it was late afternoon with daylight, not night, so I was happy to see he was still alive and walking around during the daytime.
When I pulled all of the camera chips (7) on Sunday afternoon before the gun season I not only got the picture of him in his area on 11/20 but I had one picture of him on 11/23 on a camera about as far from his home area as he could be and still be on the property.
Wind direction on Monday kept me out of the area that I thought he lived in. Tuesday gave me the north wind that I needed. I busted a deer going in before daylight that blew a bunch of times. Around 8 AM I see 4 does slipping through the thick stuff. At noon I see a single button slipping through the same area. At 4:15 I see 3 does through the thick stuff moving East, opposite direction as the movement in the morning. No shot on them even if I had wanted to. At 4.25 I see this buck coming through the same thick stuff but he provides a shot at 95 yds and he went around 40 yds after the shot. Top of the heart shot, over quickly.
During these months I had hundreds and hundreds of pictures of a multitude of different bucks in this same area. I belived he was still there even with weeks with no pics of him, he is one I took video of last year during the MZ season that I passed. I felt it was his home and unless he was dead he was still there. Not many trail cam pics of a buck that probably lived his entire life within a very short distance of this camera location with a feeder!
His body is smaller that the 10 last year, he rack is not huge but it is nice, at least to me.
