As some of you recall, I was fortunate enough to take a solid buck off my river grounds in early October after a 5 year dry spell. http://discussions.texasbowhunter.co...d.php?t=665418
And again, some might remember that at that time my buck was approximately the 4th best buck we had on camera and I was fine with that. Gave the kids the opportunity to kill the top end bucks…..
Well let’s rewind to Nov. 25, I have eased down into my lower river plot in an attempt to get arrows in as many hogs as showed. And what would you know, a “New” never seen or captured on camera 4.5 / 5.5 year old 8 point walked in the plot and presented multiple opportunities to be killed. He had great mass, good tine length, and overall impressive. First 5 photos below….. and yes that thing that looks like a fat raccoon in camo sitting in Brecks bow stand is me…………..Oh it gets better, hang in there.
Which brings me to December 9th early morning time. Back in Brecks bow stand watching 6 younger bucks ease in and out of the lower river plot. 6:55 a.m. I notice all the bucks in the plot get extremely still while focusing on the thick brush to my north. All at once each started easing away from the northern brush line. Yep, you know it, our Number 1 buck, “The Dreamy 8” a truly incredible whitetail that we had captured hundreds and hundreds of trail cam photos of, (all night time) eases out in the plot and yep, walks straight to my hand corn and sticks his head in the corn. For close to an hour he would go between hand corn and the feeder. I should add, the last time I laid eyes on this buck during day light was October 2013. I have captured trail cam photos of this deer since 2012 but 99% were night time. We estimate his age from history of photos to be 7.5 / 8.5. And yes, that’s me again in that tree with my bow hanging……..See last 5 photos below......
Well, there is always next year……if I can talk myself into passing the first mature deer that walks in…… Ha ha
Just thought some of you would like a laugh at my expense today…………..Ha ha
For all that does not read the humor in my post, I do not regret my harvest this year. Lord’s trying to teach me patience’s………but sure wish he would find a different teaching aid…ha ha ha
Hope each enjoy and find humor in a great problem to have.
God Bless and hope each have a Merry Christmas.
