We got snow Nov 2nd and into the early morning of the 3rd , I was out early and cut his snowed in track around 7:00 . He was travelling with two does for a while , he left them and then bedded , he walked away from his 1st bed before I got there , I got very close to him but no shot when I jumped him out of his 2nd , and I knocked him down when he left his 3rd (11:30) .
I didn't notice this thread last year and am late to party. The 190 pound buck looks like a stuffed tick! I would have guessed that deer easily over 200 pounds.
This years deer is no slouch either. Congratulations on an eventful tracking job.
