I saw this buck my first day bear hunting this year standing right off the trail right at daylight. I got video and photos of him and knew he was the buck I wanted to get this season.

I thought I knew where the buck would hang out based off prior years hunting the unit and put a trail cam out a week later hoping to catch him. With over 400 pictures, I only caught 2 spikes, a bunch of does, and a rabbit.
I hunted the area 5 more times including the archery opener and never saw my deer. ON the last day of muzzle loader season I played a hunch and decided to check out a spot about a mile away from where I originally saw the buck and ended up spooking a deer that I never even saw. I decided I would try to approach that spot for the rifle opener from the sidehill and hopefully have the wind more in my favor.
The fall colors have really started to pop since last weekend.
