    I have a black cloud that follows me when I'm hunting BIG deer. I've had 10 encounters with gross Boone bucks over the years and have not killed one of them. Some of the craziest $h*% ever has happened to save them.

    Lester. It will happen for you one day. You have been close to some giants and are obviously doing something correct. Better than 99.9% of the rest of us.

    I was lucky enough to have gotten two on camera in 2023 and 2024. I was able to harvest both in 2024.
