Been hunting this buck since he popped up on camera in early October! This is the first time I’ve ever gotten my target buck. I had only got him on camera once, and then once the rut started kicking in I started getting him on a totally different trail camera across the property at night with does. Needless to say he was the one I wanted. I hunted everyday for a month straight. Morning, evening, even doing all day sits. He never came near me during bow season, and one muzzle loader kicked off, I walked into the field a little late and walked out at the same time he did and he was chasing a doe hard. I grunted and snorted and he ignored me. Then a few days later I caught him in the field again chasing a doe but always stayed on the neighboring property, just barely out of reach. No amount of grunting worked. Then he stopped showing up on camera, and I got worried someone else snagged him up. Thankfully, yesterday evening right at dark he came chasing a doe across the field finally on my side and came right across my blind and I knew it was him as soon as I seen him and finally got him.
