Congrats! I know how it is to hunt public land and the story of the guy with his dog is a very familiar one to me. And the guy shooting squirrels just before that perfect last hour of light is something we also have to contend with. Hats off to you for sticking it out and getting the buck. I always try to think when I have my spot walked across by somebody, well maybe they will move one my way.
Nice Buck great story.
