Two evenings ago I was finally able to accomplish a dream I set out for over a decade ago. A lot of preparation, determination, and willingness to go further finally paid off in a big way. Now year round scouting put me in the right place at the right time, but it was the saddle that ultimately lead me to the harvest of this buck! Without forums like this and the countless YouTube videos I've watched the last 3 years it wouldn't of been possible to kill this guy. I say that because the only tree in range of the trail from his bed out in the swamp to the oaks he was after was one lone tree with the diameter of a softball! So I climbed up it and hunted outta my diy saddle thanks to all you guys and all your wisdom (mantis should be here shortly) and was able to send an arrow through this joker!! Extremely happy and incredibly humbled with my first public buck! My second deer outta the saddle this year with many many more to come! A hunt I'll never forget.
