Congrats on an awesome deer. Thanks for posting the story along with it. I am curious to know concerning how consistent he was using this bedding area. Was he always there on a certain wind? It seems you were in the area a lot as you pinpointed his bedding location. I would have been afraid of pushing him out of there as I tried to get that much intel.

Great job also sticking to your plan with the 125 tempting you.

Huge congrats !
I really respect your methods and how fast you have put these different tactics to use.
I find it funny that you say "when I was young" ....and yet with your experience it sort of rings true.
Your drive to learn your quarry is inspiring.
Thanks for the story.
Great buck!

Great question! I was only ever tight up in his face in or in his bedding area three times. The one morning when I came into it backwards with the kayak, then a few days later for the morning and nights it that I did, and then Monday night when I killed him. This was over a period of around three weeks. I know the area pretty well so I have an idea of how they bed when they do bed. I sat literally over the top of his bed the morning that I came in with the kayak and when it got light all the sign was there which was reassuring.

The place that I pestered him a lot was around the crop fields where everyone else was leaving sent and making noise and hunting. Based on the time that I was getting him on camera and the direction of travel on all of my different cameras it pointed me in the direction that he was coming from and also told me that it must have been quite a ways back. In no way do I claim to know what I'm talking about but it all just made sense to me so I went for it on a hunch

Well written, I like the perspective on hunting mature animals, it is a different ballgame, can be very challenging, but very fun at the same time. Congrats!

I would love to hear the full story of the 3:30 am kayak ride and wet feet, lol
