In early September I found this buck on several occasions and ended up with some decent still pics and a little video clip or two. Greenhorn and I found him again after he went out of velvet and he had one close encounter with the buck winning a 30 minute stare down, just out of bow range. After that he dissappeared for almost two months. Knowing the rut is just starting to rev up and armed with a rifle this time, we got into my lookout spot just as dawn was breaking Saturday morning. I picked up a flash of movement going through the trees. It was this buck following a doe with his neck stretched out. We let him come out into the open and waited for a good broadside shot. The shot was under 200 yards and as it turns out we got him only a few hundred feet away from where I first found him over two months ago. Even when these older bucks get bumped they almost always come home.
