The last 10 years or so I have been picking the deer I want to shoot way before the season starts. I do a lot of preseason scouting and game cam set ups to find the largest deer where I'm hunting. I then only hunt that deer or a bigger one if one happens to show. I've gone 5 years in a row now getting either the pick or a bigger one. Last year I got him on only the second sit. The year before I got him on the second to last day of gun season. Last year I had pictures of 13 different 10 pointers and three 11's. This year, to this point, I have not seen a buck over 8 points. I guess it's been this bad summer. This is the buck I have picked. The rancher has been helping keep an eye on him. Right now he comes into a big field every evening with a bachelor group and feeds until just before dark and leaves. If I could hunt him right now, I feel like I could have him down in one sit but you know things will change dramatically in the next couple weeks.
