RE: Holding out for one buck..........
I am also trying to harvest a preticular buck this year. I will shot other deer but i am mainly hunting for him. I have been chasing hism for three years. I seen the first time, the summer of 2006 walking through a corn feild in velvet on July 5. I seen him one time during that bow season chasing a doe. Then in 2007 i waswalking back to my house after scouting and i came up over a hump and he was about 60 yards away so i backed up and layed dowm in the crp. About 2 mins later he came over the hill andwalk about 15 yards from me with 2 other bucks. Then during the youth hunt at the end of september he came out at the top of a hill 300 yards from me. He walked down the hill where he could see me and i climbed down and stalked over with muzzleloader in hand and got to 167 yard and i could not find a good rest. He was not getting closer so i aimed and let it fly. I pulled the trigger earlyier then i wanted to and as soon as it when off i new i missed and he ran off. He was probably 145 inched. He was missed by someone eles a half mile away during bow season at 25 yard. And i just got went out to put up my trail camera and i think i saw him. I steped out in to awheat feild and he stood up and had a huge body. He had probably 3 inch brow times and 2 inch G2's. In the same feild i seen him the first time.
Good Luck
