Nice, congrats!
Found rubs and scrapes Christmas Eve. They closed post before I could hunt that evening. Back first thing this morning. Woods active this morning. A spike chasing a doe around my tree. Another 2 does that I let walk since it was early.
0800 a good buck walked out. I had an awkward shot and was leaned out. Stupid muck boots slipped on my scout and I aqua gray around still pivoting with one foot. Buck tan about 15 feet away paused and wandered back in. I had an even more awkward shot since I was just hanging and leaning into the high side of the tree with one foot on a squirrel step. Shot. Missed at a ridiculous distance.
Buck ran about 20 feet and stopped. Black powder smoke clouded all around due to 90% humidity. We walked off why I reloaded. Gone and Out of sight.
Hail Mary time. Pulled out the grunt tube. 2 series and 10 minutes later he shows back up. Beds down 35 yards from me. Turns his head away from me and I had plenty of time.
Best time I’ve had all year in the woods especially since I told the wife my plan and confidence was high.

You called him back in after shooting with a flintlock?! Geesh. That’s awesome lol. Congrats.
Did you have a buck on the board before this one? How many additional points for team 13?

In-line ML.
I’m fairly sure it was the same one. He came from the direction The one I missed was headed. I’ll be going back to see if there’s a twin brother running around.
He’s an eight point so that’s 13 points total? This is the first buck of the year.
Great late season buck! I’ve never got one this late in the year. Good stuff!

Anyone know where @Nutterbuster is? Haven’t seen him around here in a while. Looks like his last activity on the forum was Dec 8
He's been on @DanO's site so hopefully that's a god sign. Sometimes we all need a break.Was wondering that myself. Might be his longest absence from the site since he started. Hope everything's okay.
