He Survived!

Pic From Last Year (2010)

Magnificent Buck Survives!

I’m not sure if you’ll remember the story from last year’s muzzleloader season, or you may be new to the site, but I’ve got some history on this buck! I had a cousin up in North MO that had a pic of this buck that you see above, but he never got a crack at him until muzzleloader season.
He put what he thought was a good hit on the buck as he dropped right in his tracks. When a deer drops like a sack of potatoes, we don’t usually think that we need to be ready for a follow up shot, but this story will make you think twice about that common notion. Long story short, the buck jumped up and ran off and left no real blood trail to speak of. After several days of looking for the buck, my cousin had to concede that he wasn’t going to find him, and we were all sick for him.
That is until this week when he sent me a pic of the same deer up on his feet as large as life and still sporting VERY impressive head gear!! If you’ll look close you’ll see the baseball size scar that is just below the spine, but other than that, the deer looks great! Couldn’t have been happier for him and you can bet that I’ll keep you posted on this deer this year!

I’ve been super busy this year, and my posts are fewer and farther between, but keep checking in as we’ve got some great deer in mind for this year and we are going to try to share them with you through pics and hopefully some video!!

Stay tuned, story to be continued Sept 15th!!!
