Hard to do

I'll have to dig around at home. I have a buck on trailcam that I killed in '08.

Nice deer Mary! Thats great. Got video of mine also doing my best Waddell impression but I don't like myself on camera so we'll save it for another day! Or I heard a birdy tell me it might be showing up on Closing the Distance.

Well, the first day....I had him broadside at one point, but didn't feel everything was just right with the shot....and I don't shoot unless I feel pretty confident with arrow release. Of course, I came back and showed the video to J-Bone and he said, "MOM! You should have shot!"

Then that next morning he comes in...all 19 points of him and dang if he didn't get all bowed up at another buck and started a big, all out fight right next to me. I thought I might end up in the middle of it. He then chases the other buck off minus one point. (You can see the one he broke in the first of the video. Later in video, it is no mas.) That afternoon, I had to watch just long enough so he would get in the perfect position, and I didn't spare any time on that one.

After killing this buck, I knew I'd never seen him. But upon further review, after clearing last season's SD cards, I found the sequence of events that showed he had visited my hand corn at least once before.

On the afternoon of 11/26/2010, I placed this camera at the base of the tripod I was hunting and faced it towards my hand corn. Wanting to hunt a different blind that evening, I elected to leave the camera over night and just slip into the tripod the next morning.

First pic is of him right at dark the evening of the 26th:


Me getting in the tripod the morning of the 27th... It was freezing!!

And the celebration was on!! LDPs:
