2021 Late Season Success

Late season bow hunting was good to me this year. Had this buck show back up on cameras mid Dec for the first time since August.

I was able to move in on the area he was using and after my fifth day in a row hunting I got my opportunity on Dec 21st. Him and a 6 pointer were actually running a hot doe and fortunately I was in the right spot and able to make it count. 10 yard shot and he was dead within sight. By far my biggest buck and it was nice to be able to get it done with the crossbow. WMU 68B.

Good luck to everyone trying to fill a last minute tag.

He’s a monster !!! Congrats !!

Wow great buck Congrats

Congrats on the awesome buck. You’re work paid off.

Very nice CD thanks for posting.

awesome job, thats a beauty buck...Im curious about shot placement, was that a neck shot? I guess your shot would be the best spot to put an arrow if the deer is fully facing toward you?

Yep he was facing directly towards me and looking up at me in the tree. Being only 10 yards away I was confident I could hit where I needed to. Plus he was chasing a hot doe and covering ground quick so I figured that would be my best opportunity. It was by far the most blood I’ve ever seen on a blood trail. Entered the neck but took out all of the arteries coming out of the top of the heart.

Great looking beast. Congrats!!

Wow! Nice!!!

That’s a dandy buck. Congrats!

Way to go-congratulation.
So you persisted 5 days in a row on the same spot? Determination pays up.

Beauty Buck for sure. Awesome shot. Well done. Congrats

I hunted the same property for 5 days straight but bounced around a little bit depending on wind direction and time of day and whatnot. I use a tree saddle so it’s very mobile.

Persistence paid off. Beauty of a buck and a rack with lots of character. Congrats!

That's a once-in-a-lifetime deer for most! Congratulations.

Definitely worthy of a mount. Any plans yet?

Nicely done sir, that’s one you’ll be telling the grandkids about

Good shooting

Amazing buck, congrats!

wow, that would be a buck of a life time for me. agree with blood trail, I got a Doe this year facing me while on ground. went in bottom of heart and out top. Didn't go far and easy to find

Nicely done.......he's huge! Congratulations

Congratulations on a great effort and an outstanding buck!

A buck of a lifetime. Well done, and Congrats!

Excalibur Axiom crossbow with G5 Striker V2 broadheads. I have taken 2 bucks and a bull moose with this set up over the past 3 years and have no complaints with the results.
