    Well I finally got a pic of the buck that I let walk twice this season. The first time I let him go voluntarily because I wasn't sure what buck or how old he was. That was dumb of me. Then again on the 10th of this month I couldve killed him but I had already killed my buck. He may be a little better than I originally thought.

    The first time I didn't shoot him it was October 10 and it was getting late in the evening and he came trotting by fairly quick. I hadn't had any pics of him and couldn't quite tell how big he was and didn't want to shoot if he was young. He stopped at 17 yards and offered a good opportunity but I hesitated too long. I then but my binocs on him as he was leaving and realized how nice he was. The 2nd time I had to pass was just because I already killed my buck and am allowed to kill only one buck there.

    Well she finally got a shot at a nice buck at 60 yards......and missed. She rushed her shot for some reason and hit some limbs. I was shocked when she shot because it was early and the buck was calm and walking into a shooting lane. He was a nice 130ish 8 pointer. Nice mature buck.

    Heading out this afternoon. Waiting on the wind to die down some. One of the few days this week that the wind is in the right direction.

    Maybe he'll make it through to next year.
    That's disappointing for her.

    A muzzleloader. It's a CVA Wolf and shoots quite well. She just shot when she should've waited.

    He didn't spook too bad. Hopefully we can get another chance at him later this week. Right before dark he came out into the far end of the field so he wasn't worked up too bad.

    I'd hunt that field again for sure. Must be something that he likes there.

    I'm not in the stand 30 seconds and have 3 basket racks under me.
    Starting out good!
