Yes! After 8-10 weeks of roughing it in the woods, I finally got my man. I mean, who needs a social life when you can hang out with deer all day? Sometimes I'd sit there all day, looking like a total camo-clad ninja. I spotted this guy on camera about 4 weeks ago, and then I caught a glimpse of him during bow season - it was on from there. Today, he slipped up big time. I tried a different tactic, laying down in a bean field, and sure enough, he stepped out around 275-300 yards away. It was 3 pm, and he was chasing after a doe. I wasn't feeling super confident about my shot, so I backed off and let him hang out for a couple of hours. Later, I found him laying in the river in Rappahannock county. Big ups to my wife for being cool with me chasing this awesome guy around, and to my kids for helping me recover him - they had a blast trying to catch him. Most of all, thanks to God for all the stunning morning stars and sunsets I got to enjoy.
