It was a banner year where we hunt up in C-1 zone this year, probably seen 25 different bucks in all, passed up a few nice 4 points, after seeing the warm weather report for this up coming final week I decided to settled on this dude, spotted him last Friday morning; he looked good but he never let me get closer the 800yrds.
I tried it on his own turf, he out smarted me twice, which I guess these days, ain?t hard to do so he peaked my interest n I knew I had to get a shot at him, well I was ready to give it another try Monday morning, I got into the area he hung out in before day light and just waited it out, an hour after daylight I spotted him up on top of his Mt. At 447 yards, I settled the crosshairs on the top of his back and dropped him in his tracks he rolled down the hill about 40 yards n got hung up in the brush, its hard t tell just how steep that hillside was, it was hard to stand up, all I can say is I'm glad I got him my knees were starting to burn out??
