Don’t give up fellows, I let a good solid 8 point get by me this Am. I was in the bottom leaned up against a tree watching some sloughs and he came out 15-20 yards looking straight at me. Literally anywhere else and he be dead right now, but it wasn’t a monster. Just a 16” solid 8 that I would have “ dropped him like he’s hot” 😁
What’s working for me is get in a bottom around water with this hot weather because they are going to move and look for does.
Lucky joker played the peek a boo game with me and all I could see was his face and antlers.
Started to shoot him in the neck one time but I thought surely I’ll get a decent shot in a second….. nope.
