5 year old buck +
As I continue to break into the habitat world at an increasingly rapid pace, I also do enjoy an awesome hunt.
I have been very strapped for time these last few months. A 12 hour notice on launching a program for Chrysler, a ten month old, and a significant other that went through life changing surgery has me strapped for time. Luckily, Friday was one of those days and I took my chance.
I was strapped for stand locations as I was juggling my father and my friend from Oklahoma. As I was poking around looking for a place to set up for the evening I came across this funnel that we had inadvertently made. It was already partially a funnel due to the decreasing ridge and bottom that had a hard stop at an elevated rail road track. It was even more so when we cut the head lances and ran out of time leaving the rest of the field in standing corn.
I noticed this and decided to sit in a tall clump of foxtail. This is just 100 or so yards from the tenants house, and only a few feet from the back pond he keeps the grass cut at so that he can enjoy as he pleases. The pond plays another role in the pinch.
Now time for the bittersweet. I knew this buck. He was far down on the hit list. He ended up scoring 151". My biggest Ohio buck to date.
That is the sweet part.
The bitter part is he was only 3.5 years old!
