He has had a chance at this deer the last two years, both time during the rut and following a doe. He only gets one chance each year.

Dosen't look like he has missed many meals.

I'd love to have one shot at him too!!!!

Seems like you do only get 1 chance at those big boys

Nice and wide too.

Yeah, I have seen a lot of big bucks ONCE. I see the same smaller bucks regularly right now. But have only seen one big boy one time so far this year.....

Bow opens today 10/17, supposed to be in the high 70s low 80s.
These guys haven't been around the last several weeks.

not getting him the last 2 years has been a great deal for the bowhunter, whether he realizes it or not.

Becoming obsessed, I always felt, was never good and I used to swear it would put out bad "karma" in the air...
