Had some good luck
So I usually disappear and re-appear from time to time on this site. Most of you know me the new guys might not. I haven't posted any of last years photography or successful harvest pics. I have quite a bit of catching up to do.
The Story... So I scouted these bucks all summer.. got them on pictures and video. Was really hoping to get a shot at one of these boys in velvet. My brother showed up a few days after season started. I had some close calls with some nice ones, but the one I was holding out for just didn't give me the shot. The first day my brother was there I told him to sit down and not to move until he was ready to draw on one. About 30 minutes later I could see him sitting in the open while I was trying to bring down a nice 10 point... what the heck, I put him in a prime spot and he can't even sit still?!? Well about 10 minutes after sitting him down there he shot this one at 6 yards. He was just sitting next to it when I walked up to ask him why he can't follow instructions. To say the least his first muley with a bow will be hard to beat. And his brother (ME) is giving him the second best spot to sit this year and not my spot again!!!

Re: Had some good luck
The buck he got was no. 3 on our list of ones we wanted... at 6yds he wasn't one to pass on though. This buck was tied for first on my list
. I'm sure you can see why.. he's a piggy. He was tied with on the list with this boy . This pic is from a video sorry for the quality but its no.3 the one my brother didn't pass and neither would I have. ha.
