So “Sneaky Pete” had walked close to my stand about 4 years ago during bow season. He looked like a 2 year old to me so I gave him a pass. Never saw him again till about 2 years ago when he snuck up behind me sitting by a tree during muzzle loader season. He snorted about 10 yards away from me and ran off. The last time I saw him was at the end of last years season when I was walking around the property during rifle season and I jumped him while he was bedding. This weekend I took a gamble and decided to slowly sneak close to the bedding area that I saw him last year. I heard a noise so I kneeled down to get some cover than 5 minutes later he was walking about 60 yards in front of me with his nose down following a scent. That’s when I knew exactly who he was made the shot.
