Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Bucks that still haunt you

Yes, I have one in particular that I think about often.
Mid-November archery hunt in SE Kansas on a chunk of walk-in ground.

I was set up in a hedge row with my back against a river, wind in my face, overlooking a series of scrapes and area littered with leg-sized scrapes.

About 8AM, I looked out into the ag field and the largest, most spectacular buck I've ever seen (still) was making a beeline to my locale. He closed the distance to 75 yards and for no apparent reason, did a 90 degree turn, fought his way through seemingly impenetrable brush - and just like that, walked out of my life.
