Well. Here it is. The 1st buck with the Remington muzzleloader and my 1st buck in 3 seasons now 

I helped a friend with some work around his hunting property this year putting in some last minute food plots. He told me I could hunting I wanted. I'm not one to hunt other places other than my own farm because I usually only target maybe 1 or 2 deer a year and too much pressure just doesn't work. 

I hung a few cameras  in September , never hunted it because I wasn't seeing anything big. So I let it sit and just kept checking  cameras from time to time. Also I must mention I wasn't allowed to bait so that made things a little more difficult when everyone is baiting around you. 

I got some pictures during the rut of this guy so I did a few sits with the bow but never saw him. He disappeared as soon as gun season came in and I didn't get anymore pics for all of December. 

Last week I got one pic around midnight in the food plot I planted. 

I saw the weather forecast for today and I had a good feeling. 

I love hunting the cold nasty weather better than any rut day when I have a big one around. 

Snow and freezing rain like this gets them on their feet early. 

I got set up at 230 pm and 345 he was on the ground. The drag was brutal uphill 😆. 

But that's the story. 

 

Fantastic buck!! Congrats!!

Nice one!   Just sitting up in a tree, or in a blind with some protection from the snow and rain?

No. Just went in and set up a climber. 

Had to find a different tree than the one I previously hunted because of the wind direction. 

I had a napkin in the barrel lol
