Was able to harvest this small 7pt this morning after missing the buck of a lifetime at 22yds, how I’ll never know. The trail cam photo from today was at the exact time I was 300yds away field dressing mine. This may very well be the one I missed. Oh well, thankful for the harvest and maybe he’ll live to chase next year. Morning began with a 1.5 mile mtn bike ride in the snow, sat 3 hours and seen nothing. To the feet I went. Caught the big boy sneaking along a bench, perfect setup coming right to me and I had the wind perfect, then I whiffed. Ugh. Sick to my stomach at this point. 1 hr later I spot a nice 10pt, no cover, can’t get close, busted me at about 100yds. Shortly there after found the one I took. Was pretty happy with this hunt as I spotted this deer over 100yds away and was successful in stalking into about 30yards and redeeming myself. Not too easy stalking whitetail around here. 1 mile drag out solo. Meat in the freezer, 2 tags to go
