Public land nemesis

Well 4.5 hours and 4 sets of eyeballs and all we found was a flat football. Must of been one of Tom Brady's ball.

I have plenty of buddies, but if I have a buck like Chief located they would be looking in a different spot.

The one guy is my hunting buddy who is not a whitetail hunter, but I put him and his son in areas last season to maybe get a shot at this buck so they know of him and the other guy is my retired neighbor who knows his life depends on his silence.

Good luck and I sure hope you find them!

You need a guy with a shed hunting dog! Not the dog's owner, but just the dog! Pretty sure the dog could keep his mouth shut! I sure hope you can find them.

r u holding out?

No sadly.

Lot of bone already. Good sign that he is still in his prime. Had 9 other buck on camera all barely had any growth. Had a basket 8 point still packing on april 2nd and chief had 4 to 5 inches of new growth by that time.

Yes another season of the saga where I continue to get figuratively bitch slapped.

Looks like you get one more year frustration and chasing ghosts. Who knows he may just slip up this year and give you a chance

 

[Dunning Kruger]

I hate to say it, but man, the clock is ticking!!!! Let the air out of him this year, old bucks dont live forever.

 

[Dunning Kruger]

I was worried about him going downhill this year. I was quite surprised when I seen him looking good. This has gotta be the year tho!

Watched a vampire buck via trailcam from 2013-2019. He was a big shooter 5x5 in 2013. From about 2015 on i kept thinking shit, he has to start coming down this year! Kept getting surprised. He spent a few years swapping g5s from side to side, but kept getting bigger, peaked out 2017 or 2018, then came down 2019 and he finally slipped up and appeared in daylight for the first time in at least 7 seasons, and my dad put an end to the saga. Youll get him, sometimes it just takes a half decade or more for the big boys to screw up!

Good Lord..... Good luck, that is a monster buck

This gives me some new hope and motivation.

That's awesome that you guys finally sealed the deal with that elusive guy!

June 9th. Not 100% sure its him but I think it is. I usually lose track of him in the summer.
