> 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

> 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!
