That moment when you get the first new picture of a buck that you thought for sure was dead. I’ve chased this deer for a the past two seasons. The scar on his back is what gave him his name “Scar buck”. In 2024 on opening day he walked past at 30 yards and stopped broadside, I thought for sure it was a done deal. I drew back, had plenty of time, perfect shot, I released and heard the arrow hit him. Immediately i was celebrating……until I watched the video and my hopes hit the floor. He dropped 10” and i hit him high. What I prayed for that whole summer came true then I blew it. I took Red out the next morning and picked up blood at a couple hundred yards. About 800 yards into tracking my camera went off and it was him, perfectly fine walking thru. I was sick over it. I never seen him again that entire season. Fast forward to last season, first and only in person encounter He was 20 yards from me in October and held up behind a brush pile and eventually caught my wind and took off. Had two pics after that in November and not a single picture since until today. I literally stood up out of my seat and out loud said Oh Myy Goddd, it’s HIMMM!! Well, needless to say my target buck is exactly the same this year as it was in 2025 and 2024. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🙏🙏🙏🙏
