Buck Down

[Mpdiesel 193]

Got this guy on the 19th. Its been a very slow deer season. Haven't gotten out like I have in years past and only seen one doe up until Tuesday. Had a short window Monday got in and pulled cameras. While out I ran into a guy who was hunting the other side of the hill. Didn't know he was there and he had a huge pile of corn. Could explain why all the movement went to night time. But one camera only a few hundred yards away had all day time movement. Made the decision I would hunt there. It also cuts the deer off going to the corn pile from the bedding area. Two good bucks and one we thought had a freak rack but the picture wasn't great so couldn't tell.

Well the morning didn't go as planned. Had a flat tire when I was leaving. Got that fixed and stopped to grab snacks. Somewhere I got a screw in the tire. Off to get a plug kit. Plugged my tire and decided Id hunt the rest of the day anyways. Got in stand at 10:35 and buck was down at 11. He came in from my right checked a few scrapes and continued down the trail to the bedding area. Ive called in the past and the bucks always run away faster than they came in. So I am not confident in calling while deer hunting. But heading to the bedding area I thought what did I have to loose. He got to about 60 yards in front of me and I let a single grunt out. He turned came right back in and turned broadside for me at 24 yards. He didn't go 30 yards before he fell over within sight. Luckily he fell within sight because there was no blood trail. There was barely any blood where we found him. Turns out this is the freak rack buck we had on camera. He has a broken off point and you can see his brow tines are worn down from rubbing or fighting. The back of his tines he has a few small points sticking off. Pretty cool rack from the pines.
