Cold Case: Muzzleloader Buck Hunt Recap

[mistermystery]

Thanks for sharing your hunt! Some great tidbits of big buck behavior in your write-up and it was awesome to follow along. Congrats on the dandy buck as well.

Be interesting is the buck is old enough to be the one your buddy saw 6 yrs ago. Pretty cool.

Excellent writing, excellent hunt, and how amazing it must have felt to hear your boy's pride in you! I feel like I learned a lot from this one. Every detail... I could feel it. Well done! Thank you!

Great buck, great write up. The last picture with your kids imo are the photos one will enjoy the most as time passes.

Awesome job all around. Great little nuances in there that can help any hunter.

Great deer!

Great story and write-up…

Hunting stories are better where there’s a big puff of smoke!

As promised I said I would post back once I received the lab age results.

I should note I looked back at the point my buddy sent me, in my original posts and I claimed he saw a big buck in 2018. After looking back at the old app he sent me the point in, that actually took place in 2019, not 2018. So I was off a year.

Regardless: the lab aged this buck at 5.5 years old. Which means that this could not have been the same deer that my buddy saw in 2019. Pretty cool to kill another big deer in the same bed years later.

Exceptional story - thanks for sharing!
