> Well guys here he is!

>

> Cole’s notes of the hunts

>

> Saturday morning- saw buck feeding out in field with 3 other bucks, watched

> him for over 1 hr in my spotting scope, got some pictures through the

> vortex, which are attached. I knew from the first second I saw him he was a

> true giant but never had him pinned at what he actually scored! I watched

> him bed down, went in for the sneak through the standing flax, Got within 43

> yards but when he stood up he walked straight away and I had no shot with

> the bow.

>

> Saturday night, went back to the field just to make sure he was still around

> and he was right where I saw him last. Left him for the night

>

> Sunday morning- Went out with Mike Gebhard and he was in the same field and

> the night previous, waited over an hour for him to bed once he did, we

> tried the stalk again, well we did get in closer, got within 32 yards waited

> a bit and he stood up and did it to me again, walked straight away! NO

> SHOT!!! My heart sank for a second time in 2 days ! What an amazing buck

> to watch at 32 yards!

>

> Monday morning – I had to be responsible for a couple days and go harvest so

> I did a drive through the area on the way to the farm and he was again in

> the same field! There was no wind so it wasn’t as hard leaving him there to

> go harvest.

>

> Tuesday – WINDY and I was harvesting!!!

>

> Wednesday – planned on going to office in AM then harvesting in PM but I had

> to try and find him if I could, I was more then a little consumed by this

> buck! Well he was in the same field again, he was the most predictable buck

> I have ever seen, which I was good with. I again spent some quality time

> with my vortex spotting scope. This time I made sure I knew which way he

> bedded down so I would be broadside when he stood up. I left my truck at

> 8:15 and went for the stalk. Half way in the smaller buck with him stood

> up and ate for a bit so I layed down and let him bed up again. Well this

> time I got to 28.5 yards and he had no clue I was there, wind in my face,

> laying broadside to me, now just the patience game, he put me to the test,

> I was there for over 2.5 hrs kneeling in mud waiting for him to stand. The

> smaller buck got up again and milled around for probably 20 minutes then the

> moment of truth, he finally stood up! I was ready and drew and put an arrow

> in him!

> He didn’t go 130 yards and 5 minutes later he was dead, I didn’t get back

> to the truck till 12:45 so safe to say I didn’t make it to the office or

> harvesting at all that day.

>

> He was one of those deer that actually grew as I walked up to him!
