Last week I was finally able to get another one of my target bucks on public land after hunting him for 2 months. I don’t have much history with this deer but I thought he was 4 1/2 last year (first picture) which made him a shooter for me this year. My personal goal is 5 1/2 years old on public land.
There was only 3 mature bucks I knew of in this area. One disappeared in October and another only showed one time in November so this buck quickly moved to the top of the list. I had seen him 3 times prior to shooting him and had many game camera pictures so I had a good idea where he was hanging out. This area is pretty open so I ended up setting a pop up blind in the last place I saw him and got him the second time I hunted it.
He was 17 3/4 wide and scored 122. Not what I would consider big but he is my biggest 8 point and a nice buck for this area.
