'The big 9' had 1 single picture of him last year he made it back this year after I got a picture of what I was sure was a shooter I talked to a buddy about 2 miles up the road and he had him on camera in velvet well this deer had moved to the property I hunt and was showing up about once or twice a week closest to daylight was 5:46 a.m. well I had been seeing bucks chasing doe around my house and the second day of muzzleloader I decided to go sit on him because i knew i had doe in every morning and evening in daylight made it to the stand late because i forgot it would get light earlier with the time change made it to the stand at 6:20 and it was already daylight put out some black widow deer lure and hit my extinguisher grunt call and rattled my black rack antlers a few times and just sat there nothing about 10 minutes later did the same then I seen a cast of the deer coming through the thick part of saplings and thought it was the 8 I had on camera until he turned and seen he was the 9 I waited until he stepped from behind the tree and put my cross hairs on his front shoulder and squeezed the trigger on my cva wolf I was so excited I must of pulled to the left a bit and hit him in the neck needless to say he dropped at 6:50 a.m. I was ecstatic I called my buddy and him and his kids came over to help me get him in the truck.
