My 2012 Ohio Buck

[ApparitionRob]

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to share my most recent harvest. I was very fortunate and blessed to take this beautiful animal on Friday November 2nd at 6pm. The 3 days prior left me seeing no deer at all out of the stand. On Friday, he was the 25th deer I got to see! Its amazing how deer activity during the rut can turn on like a light switch. Needless to say, I went from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs in a matter of seconds!

Very,very nice buck. Cloud nine is a nice place to be. Persistence paid off, congrats.

[ApparitionRob]

thank you hortontoter, no better place then cloud nine! it was a frustrating season with the weather and deer sightings, but in the end, reminding myself to be patient and to have fun paid off!

That's a beauty for sure!! Congrats on a very nice buck!!!!

[ApparitionRob]

Thanks Stonegod! all them all-day sits finally seem worthwhile! I originally he thought he was a buck I had on trail camera in 2009 and 2010, which would make him 5.5 yrs old now. but after inspecting the teeth, we found out hes only a 3.5 yrs old! I have shot a lot of 3.5 yr old bucks, but never one with this much mass! Couldnt be happier!

That's awesome man I'm getting so.e pretty low lows right now. But I keep waiting.for that one moment where everything changes. Congrats on an awesome buck

[ApparitionRob]

smokin_aces I was the same way, I thought I had some type of cloud of radiation around me spooking deer miles away. I just kept telling myself this isnt your job, relax and have fun. And as soon as I did, the deer start showing up. Anything can happen at any time of the day right now, so keep your confidence up! Best of luck! I hope you get a monster!

Congrats man! It don't matter if he is 3.5 years old or 9.5 years old, as long as he gets your blood boiling thats what makes us come back for more! again congrats and send some deer my way!

[ApparitionRob]

cityboyz , I could not agree more! a trophy is in the eye of the hunter and the hunter only! The age of this deer did not matter to me whatsoever, I was more or less shocked he was only at 3.5 yrs old!

Gotta love November when all it takes is that one special doe to get everything turned inside out!! Good Luck to all of you that have not filled your tag yet!!

Great looking buck! I hope to get an all day sit in on Thursday.

[ApparitionRob]

Best of luck to you! them all day sits can be rough, especially if the deer just arent there. Hopefully you have an action packed day!
