That's one of "those spots" that people dream about finding.Very true! I got him only about 500 yards from the one last year though.

Dark face on that guy.View attachment 347755Had no idea the size of this buck when I shot him with my muzzleloader. I knew he had 4 on one side and was a mature buck, but no idea how wide
Nice to not have ground shrinkage!
20 1/2” inside
22” outside
Do you take older “kids” out, too? Asking for a friend.View attachment 347866
My youngest daughter got to skip school yesterday and spend a little time with dad to harvest her first deer.
I've spent plenty of years hunting better seasons or units that I've hunted before, but sometimes you just need a little luck. Best buck I've shot in 18 yearsWow...great buck, especially for 2nd season somewhere you've never been before!
Hunting whitetail in the hills with snow falling in the first week of November is what dreams are made of.I punched my deer tag today on a good mountain deer. I decided to drag it out the 2.5 miles since the snow conditions were perfect for it. This is my biggest whitetail to date and I am ecstatic. Now that the deer distraction is out of the way, it's time to really get after elk. I won't be surprised if 50% of this deer is made into tamales.

Nice mount!Here is my second largest (based on score) buck to date. Got him with my bow at roughly 25 yards.
Story behind this deer as we had only seen him a few times. The first time i saw this deer was when we went to dispose of some pigs we had shot one night down at our shared gut dump on our neighbor's property. There was a strip of woods between the neighbor's and ours that might be 100 yards wide and was split by roads on both sides. The night we went to dispose of the pigs, we ran across this buck bedded down in the stretch of woods. For the next 3-4 days following this sighting i hunted this strip of woods as it was on our property side in my climber hoping to catch a glimpse of him. Sadly, the only sighting i had of him during those couple days was way off through the woods on the neighbor's land lol.
Fast forward a year later, on a near by camera location that we had a couple hundred yards away from the first sighting, this buck randomly showed up on a Monday afternoon in the daylight. He then proceeded to show up again the very next night again in the day light on the same camera. Told my boss when i got to work on Wednesday i was going to be sick after lunch and showed him the pictures... he just laughed and said yeah man i would be to. I took off to the camp and got into my climber real early to help let the woods settle down, probably around 1:30 i was already up in the tree ready to go. And right at dark, like he had the last few nights, he showed up again at the same spot with the two smaller bucks he had been hanging with. He slowly slipped in and at 25 yards i was able to put a arrow in him. Gave him about a hour or so to lay as this was the largest deer i've ever shot at with a bow and after starting to look for him, realized he only went about 50 yards and piled up. Super proud of him as i got it done with my bow.
First pic is him in the woods after we found him, and second pic is after i got him back from the taxidermist a year later!
What broadhead?2024 PA archery buck. I tried holding out last year for a big one and ate tag soup. This year the first decent buck that got close was unlucky.
