Yes, sir.
I was literally almost posted yesterday asking your hunting was going. Nice buck!
Man that’s what patience will do for ya!!! Congratulations....
Way to go!!
Sometimes it pays to just be in the right place at the right time. On the second day of rifle season (last Monday) I saw what I was sure was a buck pass between me and where my daughter was sitting but It was right at dark and I couldn't put horns on it. My daughter couldn't hunt today (husband had to work so she had to do stay with my granddaughter) so I went in and set up where I could watch as much as I could by myself. By 1:30 I had only seen one yearling doe so I rappelled down thinking I was going to relocate. I took a quick walk and the fresh sign in the area was still really good. Well, I thought, this is as good as any place else I may go so I decided to stick it out. Also, all but one of the deer we had seen were afternoon sightings. I relocated to tree approximately right over where I had seen the deer go up Monday. At 6:25 I could hear him walking but couldn't see him on the facing side hill. Eventually he wandered into view almost directly under the tree I had been in on Monday. I managed to get him in the scope, and wouldn't you know it, I could see the whole deer except to top of his heads as a cross branch was blocking it. He took another step and I saw he was a legal buck (APRs where I hunt) so I touched it off. It was 5:35 (shooting light ends at 5:45). He ran down the hill and heard him crash so I was pretty sure he was down and I knew pretty close to where. I rappelled down and just short cut over there. I honestly wasn't expecting to find a 10 point but I'll take him. The bad news is where I shot him is about as far from the nearest road as you can get in this area. Thanks to my buddy's who were hunting elsewhere and made the special trip in to help me drag him out (My old butt may still be out there otherwise 
). I thought the first 300yds were gonna do me in. Plus, having help gave me the opportunity for pictures.

Great story and awesome buck @boyne bowhunter !
Congrats!!
Man thats cool, what I wouldn’t give for a firearm this past week...... I’ve been 50-65 yds off from 3 shooters in the last week since Saturday. Congratulations buddy!
Thanks guys! I've definitely put in the hours for him this year. Per my log that was sit 62 of my 2020 deer season. I take long weekends throughout Oct and I was off work on rutcation from Oct 30th thru Nov 16th and in those combined 32 days remote I only missed 3 possible sits, one afternoon I stayed in camp after braving the 40+ mph wind gusts in the morning and the day of the 14th when I closed up bow camp and towed the camper back home. It's been a grind but I love every minute of it. Now I just have to get my daughter on one before the seasons close. I also still have a couple of tags so I intend to keep hitting it hard. GO TEAM 5!
Yeah that’s cool! I’m still on does. Our gun season comes in Saturday. I’ve been on decent bucks for a week & was just out of range would love to connect & upgrade a team 5 doe..........
Well our rifle season here in Michigan has officially closed so its time to get the bow back out again. I really like hunting the second bow season here. The cold weather keeps most of the early season competition at home in front of the football game and the deer stat to revert back to a daytime pattern once the muzzle loader season closes after mid month. If we can get a decent amount of snow before Christmas the deer should also congregate into winter yards and that narrows the chase area. I really like bow hunting in the snow! Saved a doe tag especially for it.
