I rarely pick up a gun anymore, But I'm glad I had my rifle with me this time!
After hunting all weekend without seeing a deer! I decided to do some slipping through the swamp to see if I could find them deer in there hiding spots. I jumped several but couldn't get a shot off. I kept easing along through the water which was at the top of my boots and seaping in, when I saw some rubs next to a high root clump from a blown down willow. I went check it out and sure enough, thats where I figured the Big boy was spending his days. Little did I know, he was standing not 20 yards away watching me! When I made a couple of steps his way he tore out with water flying everywhere! I threw my rifle to my shoulder and followed him through the thick stuff, and squeezed off a shot when I saw an opening. He piled up not 30 yards away! A Beautiful Basin Buck with a Double Throat Patch!
I'm pretty sure this is him from my trailcam last year. The Double throat patch! >
