I’m 95% certain I saw the buck my daughter hit during the youth weekend. The Kid and I went up about 3:30 for a short sit, he stayed in the new shack and I sat in the original we had moved to another location. About 4:15 a deer comes straight in but hangs up. He seems to check out the shack for a bit then starts to make either a scrape or rub. Afterwards he starts coming again but turns to my right and then circles back up. It takes him 10-15 minutes before he finally disappears above me. I didn’t recognize him at first because I’d only seen him a few times through the binos, broadside. Closer up and head on he’s bigger than I thought, but the way the Kid described him pretty much matches what I was looking at.
Ten minutes before legal time was up two stepped out in front of the Kid. A doe with a button buck so they got a pass. I walked to him to bump them out easy.
He was cleared today from COVID quarantine but my daughter has to stay put due to being unvaxxed. Our plan is for her and I to hunt tomorrow morning, hopefully she’ll get a second chance at him.
Cell phone pics aren’t great but shows just enough antler to get an idea.
