This buck and I have had a few encounters with him winning 2 of them. The 3rd one, was last night and he lost. This pursuit started opening weekend of bow season when this buck came behind me to 8 yards. The back of the pop up blind was nothing but plum thickets. So I had no shot and he didn't like the pop up blind. 2nd encounter was the following weekend when he came within 45 yards down the creek with his 2 running buddies. He never gave me a shot that day either. This is him.....   After work yesterday I had planned on sitting in the corner on an old well site, in some thick grass and laying down over looking a small meadow and tree row where he gave me the previous 2 slips. Work had me tied up until 5:35 pm. I was working right next to the ranch so I rushed to the corner. Snuck up in the ranch truck and immediately spotted a young 8 point and several does. Then I saw a silhouette of a buck to the East. It was him!!!!! I grabbed the gun and shot him and he dropped. I immediately knew what buck it was. This buck is a very mature whitetail and I believe him to be 6.5 yrs old. I will know better when I cape him out tomorrow evening and look at his jaw. He will not score alot, but I am not ashamed to shoot a very old, big mature whitetail. He field dressed at 155 lbs. Yes I have a scale in my garage. I am going to euro him, but keep his cape for future mounts if need be. He has a beautiful cape. These pics are not the best as the ranch hand took them with my iphone. He's not very savy on this technology stuff. I am happy to have a great buck and to have some closure on a buck I never thought I was going to be able to kill. Here are the pics.....   Notice the short roman nose look to him....

Congrats man! Thats a nice mature buck. No doubt. A real trophy IMO. Anytime you can take out an old warrior, that's a trophy in my eyes. He's beautiful.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.
Don't text and drive.

Thanks guys. I am still pumped. Seen 2 bucks with his genetics I believe Saturday evening also. So maybe he spread his wealth around in these past several years.

awesome old buck, congrats
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.
