BIG IS BEAUTIFUL

I should have been pinned in both of the following scenarios, in the hunts I’m about to share that occurred over the past two seasons. In the first, I chose to sit in the elevated Redneck Buck Palace 360 that had been placed squarely in the center of an Antler King Trophy Clover and Honey Hole plot. The spot was perfect, but the trees were lacking and the deer literally came from everywhere.

There were a handful of deer, all feeding within easy shotgun range, when I saw the buck no more than 10 yards from me, to the west. With deer on both sides and me in a blind sticking out like a sore thumb in between, I shouldn’t have been able to get off the chair, completely reposition myself and roll that buck at 20 yards, without a single deer having a clue.
