Brunswick County, VA

When I say that I am blessed, it is by far an understatement! My dad and I decided to sit together this morning and I am so glad we did. We watched a spike go by and also watched a bobcat and her kitten come by as well. When I saw this deer he was through the woods in briars where all I could see was his body. When he stepped into a clearing I could tell he was a decent size buck and I was going to shoot him. I shot and he ran back into the woods where I couldn’t see him. The anticipation continued to build as we came back to the house to get prepared to go track him. When my dad crossed over the creek and told me he could see blood the tears started flowing. I had gotten him. What makes him so special is that he is no typical deer. Anybody can kill a typical deer, but how many deer will you see that look like him? I had no previous history with this buck, never seen him before or even had a picture of him. Once I posted him on Facebook I had a neighbor down the road send me the trail cam photo of him early in the season.
