So I bought this 3.5 acre property in Warren in June. First thing I did... hang a camera. One of the first and most consistent Deer I got on the camera was this Giant, I called Mack, his face kinda reminded me of a Mack Truck. I even put a few pics on the 'Any new Buck pics' thread a while back. However, the last pic I got of him recetly was on Sunday Sept. 15th. For a while I was bummed thinking he was killed or changed his pattern... until yesterday morning. He came in at 4:45AM and based on what I have seen him do before, I decided to hunt that evening. My stand is only 70 yards from my house so I slipped in at 4:30PM. Wind was perfect out of the NNE and at 6:07PM I heard a shuffling coming from where I thought Mack would come from. It got louder and louder and the first thing I saw was his giant rack pop over a ridge 50 yards from me. Slowly and I mean slowly he worked his was through some sapplings, working a rub, meanwhile I was pulled back. After letting down once and pulling back again he finally stepped into my shooting lane at 32 yards. Quartered too slightly it was a lung/liver pass through, first deer shot at with my new Mathews Chill. He wheeled around and cut down between me and my house. Was able to get another shot off and hit his one lung. I waited till dark to get down and watched him walk off. After bumping him after 3 hrs of waiting we waited till 2 this morning and found him 200 yrds from my house. What do I do for the rut now??

Thanks everyone! I am still in shock that it happened this year. I figured it would take me at least a year to catch up to him. Caped him today and brought it to the taxidermist. He said should score Pope and Young. My First!!

Nice buck. Is that your dog eating his rear in the first pic or did you have to fight off a coyote.

Thats my dog. She knew there was something dead, dying or bleeding in the woods. So after we found it to stop her whining we let her munch on some venison exit wound.
