I hunted this deer for 3 years....shot and missed him twice; once in 2015 and again in 2017 before taking him in late September of that year.
He was a whore monger and when you would see the does he would appear. He was bright rusty red with faint spots in early august then dark dark brown in September.
He was easy to read....in the mornings he was on his way back to bed on a high saddle on a ridge in some thick cedar and in the evenings he would make his way down off the hill to water. He must have gone down/back up over 300' of elevation each day. I walked that route several times and it was a beating...I would use it to train for Colorado before my elk trips.
anyway, he was a very visible animal. I kept bumping him early in the morning on my way to the blind. they would hang out in some oaks before the feeder went off. after a few times I got in the blind at 5 am and waited him out, that was his undoing.
