> Here's his story...
> Saturday morning- saw buck feeding out in field with 3 other
bucks,
watched
> him for over 1 hr in my spotting scope, got some pictures through
the
> vortex, which are attached. I knew from the first second I saw him
he was a
> true giant but never had him pinned at what he actually scored! I
watched
> him bed down, went in for the sneak through the standing flax, Got
within 43
> yards but when he stood up he walked straight away and I had no
shot with
> the bow.
>
> Saturday night, went back to the field just to make sure he was
still around
> and he was right where I saw him last. Left him for the night
>
> Sunday morning- Went out with Mike Gebhard and he was in the same
field and
> the night previous, waited over an hour for him to bed once he
did,
we
> tried the stalk again, well we did get in closer, got within 32
yards waited
> a bit and he stood up and did it to me again, walked straight
away!
NO
> SHOT!!! My heart sank for a second time in 2 days ! What an
amazing
buck
> to watch at 32 yards!
>
> Monday morning - I had to be responsible for a couple days and go
harvest so
> I did a drive through the area on the way to the farm and he was
again in
> the same field! There was no wind so it wasn't as hard leaving him
there to

> Tuesday - WINDY and I was harvesting!!!

> Wednesday - planned on going to office in AM then harvesting in PM
but I had
> to try and find him if I could, I was more then a little consumed
by this
> buck! Well he was in the same field again, he was the most
predictable buck
> I have ever seen, which I was good with. I again spent some
quality
time
> with my vortex spotting scope. This time I made sure I knew which
way he
> bedded down so I would be broadside when he stood up. I left my
truck at
> 8:15 and went for the stalk. Half way in the smaller buck with him
stood
> up and ate for a bit so I layed down and let him bed up again.
Well
this
> time I got to 28.5 yards and he had no clue I was there, wind in
my
face,
> laying broadside to me, now just the patience game, he put me to
the test,
> I was there for over 2.5 hrs kneeling in mud waiting for him to
stand. The
> smaller buck got up again and milled around for probably 20
minutes
then the
> moment of truth, he finally stood up! I was ready and drew and put
an arrow
> in him!
>
> He didn't go 130 yards and 5 minutes later he was dead, I didn't
get back
> to the truck till 12:45 so safe to say I didn't make it to the
office or
> harvesting at all that day.
>
> He was one of those deer that actually grew as I walked up to him!
