Watching my buddy’s dog work was awesome! This was her first live deer she ever tracked or walked up on. I was on a mission to get her one. She nailed it, Bonnie is the real deal!

Thanks guys! Meat in the freezer is always nice but that wasn’t the highlight of the morning. I happened onto a couple new properties this year in historically great areas. This particular property that I was on this morning I bumped a big deer when I first walked it, I guessed 155-160”. Well this morning I hunted a stand that I only have to walk 60 from the drive way and climb in to. At 7:20 I hear antlers clicking together, followed by some grunts, followed by as close to a knock down drag out fight that you as you can get for sept 21. It only lasted for about 20 seconds when the woods exploded and I had a 140-145” buck run past me at 25 yards, followed by the one I bumped grunting every bound behind the “small” buck. Boy did I misjudge him, my best guess is in the 165-175” range, a true giant for just about everywhere in the country. A morning to remember for a long time!
