Had the pleasure of hunting with Freddy Liautaud last week. It was an awesome hunt and we got it done on a 224” beast. For me this hunt started back in 2022 when a light antlered 3 point showed up. We thought he had some potential and didn’t think much of it. In 2023 this 3x3 turned into an awesome buck that we named Donkey, we guessed he was probably about 185 and passed on him knowing he’d be a lot bigger the next year. This year we looked for him for about 2 months and finally in early August I glassed him up coming out of a cornfield. I videoed him for 20 minutes at 250 yards and guessed he was probably a little bigger than 210. I was really excited about finding him and was surprised he put on as much as he did. We watched him all the way till the opener and it seemed like he was getting bigger everyday. We glassed him up opening morning and watched him until Freddy flew in. Once he got here they stalked in on him to about 200 yards. Due to weather they couldn’t get it done. The next morning we glassed him up at first light. They stalked in on him to about 250 yards and after about 2 hours Freddy sealed the deal when he stood up. He definitely grew on the ground. He ended up scoring 224 3/8 with one of the biggest typical frames I’ve ever seen. Awesome hunt ended with a giant buck!
