    Mature deer and food on the table.

    This happened to me 3 years ago. I was after a nice mature 10, and he chased a doe into the creek and after I rattled, he came out of the creek on a string and I put an arrow through him. Only it wasn't the mature 10.. It was a very promising young 10 pt that was on the do-not-shoot list 🤦🏻‍♂️ It happens to the best of us! (and worst). Lesson learned. Beautiful buck!

    Still a nice deer and more importantly, meat in the freezer!

Been hunting and fishing ever since I can remember. My earliest memory is my dad taking me fishing.
