I made a trip up north to chase some whitetails and had an awesome hunt. Got these deer in nebraska.

Then I headed to Kansas.
Well let me start off by saying I'm humbly Blessed by the good Lord!
I have trail cam pics of this buck back from 09. Didnt get any of him in 2010. Thought he got killed. I hunted a spot this morning that I had pics of him but I only saw one young buck. At 9:30 I decided to go scout a little knoll that jutted out into a cut bean field. I never hunted this little corner of the farm before because there wasn't much to it. The closer I got to this knoll I realized it was the perfect spot for a buck to bed up. It was only about 3/4 an acre but it was on a high vantage where he could see. It butted up to a CRP field. I knocked an arrow and eased along looking for tines in the grass. I was about half way the knoll to the CRP when I looked ahead and see a Huge Rack coming my way. I crouched down and got ready for a shot opportunity. He strolled up to 20 yards and looked right at me. I thought it's now or never man! I drew and let the string drop and he wheeled and tore otta there! I knew I had hit him so I ran to see where he was and he had stopped on the woods edge across the field. He stood there twitching his tail, then I saw him stumble!!!!
He walked into the edge and flopped down. I took a seat and watched him for an hour. Then I knocked another arrow and eased up on him. He was Done! I dropped to my kness, Thanked the Good Lord with tears streamimg down my face. The buck of a Lifetime and with my Zona recurve to boot. He was 288 pounds on my Moultrie Scale!
Gross score 183 5/8

To have a deer like that walk up close and just stand there....wow.
Anything can and does happen huh ?
Dunno how you kept from falling apart before you could get a shot off. Shocked

Congrats !

holy cow that last buck is a brute, congrats, you done good and then some!!

I agree, to even see a brute like that in daylight is so rare. Then to have him come to you, when you're on the ground, and let you get a shot off is unbelievable. Best part is that you were able to make a good shot then. Not sure I could have done that. Great buck! Better write that one up, that story belongs in a magazine.

I picked up the rack yesterday from the taxidermist since it will be next hunting season before he get's to mount it. I put a tape to them and my tally was 185 7/8! Very Happy
