Still-Hunting Big Bucks

[robby denning]

A few years ago, I use to pick up late season whitetail doe tags (December) I would still hunt and track them in the snow. It’s a great way to sharpen the skill, put deer meat in the freezer and it’s fun with very low stress.

Just a few years ago I used the same skills to track a 5 year old buck (lab aged) in Colorado. Ended up killing him at under 40 yards in the thick stuff. He had no clue I was there.

this is awesome!!!!

good work!

I loved listening to this episode. I was driving to the mountains listening to it and when on the mountain I was thinking of some of the techniques of the stalking etc. Unfortunately it didn't work for me but still learned some valuable insight.

Hopefully Robby doesn't go completely I have listened to tons of podcast with him and have learned a lot too so thank you.

This is a solid thread.
On a timber hunt a few years ago I was threading myself thru a proven area, watching squirrels etc. Sat for a bit and got out the tube and grunted softly. Waited, then crunch behind and above me is a very pissed off mature buck. Full swagger, thrashing trees looking for whoever grunted.

It was a 4 pt season and I couldn’t get a great look at him over 15 minutes or so, it was brushy with lots of trees of all sizes. He came to 50 yds or so, certainly a mature older buck. He walked away and gave me a lifetime memory out of the deal.

I’ll post up some more encounters soon.
