 back to the channel everybody we're trying to hunt this trophy buck again but what I just did was I set up a blind an actual blind at that same spot and I'm gonna try to hunt there like dedicate to that deer I haven't checked cards or anything we're gonna just hunt this evening see if anything comes out probably not because of the cows but this is the one this is like the guy come on have to get you going there's there's probably like this might a lost cause we might have to putt here and just leave this set up for the morning glad I got here glad I got out of here and set this up so I don't have to do it so I just pulled card out of the camera we're gonna go check it and see if we got any consistency here I've already blown it depending on what we see on the camera is gonna determine whether we come here in the morning it might just be beef land let's have a look at the evidence shall we this is always the exciting part we just had a major major cold front freezing nights daytime highs in the 40s I think it probably kicked this deer into high gear chasing tail we got a cow cow cow cow cow it's like there was a doe nothing there just a hog there he is oh that's PM oh my gosh it's yesterday it right now 9 in the morning okay he's still coming he's there right at 7 this guy is coming in every day oh my gosh what a beautiful holy spatoons that's a megatron and I want to point something else out to that you can tell it's a more mature deer I mean obviously he's just big broad he's got a big neck but a lot of bucks have big necks this time here because of the rut but see how his face has this more broad nose the smaller deer the younger deer they'll have a more narrow nose kind of like some dogs like a German Shepherd you know but he's got a wide base there goes down into a more equilateral triangle just to bring in a little geometry there freaking pumped oh yeah freaking pumped now wow that is a that's a nice deer that's a wide deer we are sitting here at camp I am on my tailgate and there is a shooter buck that's got a doe pinned down trophy deer walking towards us right now that's one of the lines on something else that is unbelievable he's on what 100 yards always forget to take my headlamp off it's probably why the deer keep looking at me so much one of the funnest sits I've had honestly big ins yeah we saw a freak little two I'm gonna say he's maybe two and a half he's probably three and a half but and then old big boy he came in he was there and he stood around that feeder you know you could tell who the dominant buck was he stood around there and ate he was you know 45 50 yards um through a fence I was just not a shot that I was willing to take and then you know that 12 comes in double split brows beauty just got my heart set on this pond deer he's tricky he's tricky y'all and the harder a deer is to hunt uh the bigger a trophy it is at the end of the day we also missed a coyote y'all that's that's what also made it an awesome sit here's what I'm gonna do right now just to kind of try to keep the action going still really chilly we've got some overcast um birds are going crazy out here it's it's a beautiful day to hunt I'm gonna take the rattles and I'm just gonna try to rattle some of these uh deep oak areas that are close to where this feeder is where I think this deer is kind of hanging out during the day and see if we can rattle them up I went around rattled didn't hear anything I'm being very sporting about this I've had so much fun hunting with the bow on the ground up close and personal what I'm alluding to is if it doesn't work out tonight and I know this deer is a morning deer that 308 is sitting in the truck and uh we may just have to send one down rage and sit in the box blind a little sooner this is the it's not working out with the bow as you could see with the deer behavior tonight and basically every time I've hunted there it's been calm there just hasn't been a wind to really you know move trees around that's one thing there's a little bit of like white noise that's going on um when it's dead steel and the deer can just hear every little thing they're they're very skittish and then my scent there seemed to be like a 50-yard radius where my scent was getting put out all around and the deer would kind of come into that and they'd try to figure out where it was like where is that coming from where's that coming from and that last deer actually did he walked around and sniff me in blue and ran out really smart big deer I hadn't seen before um my biggest deer right now I've taken with a bow it scored 138 inches it was an old like seven-year-old deer I think this one is bigger I think this one might be over 140 inches I trust me my my heart will be pounding you know especially knowing that this is probably the biggest deer um that I've ever encountered and having a a chance to shoot so I'm going to be pumped but um it's just not working out with the bow with the conditions and you know I've spent enough time there I've tried we're going to try to get it done with the rifle there's no guarantees but I know this deer is coming in in the morning he's got a little routine lock and load 308 sleeper let's send one down range in the morning y'all so they see you human well my friends this is a sad ending to this video and this hunting trip not what I was hoping for I know it's not what you were hoping for we're all hoping to see the uh pond deer go down in glory the quest for the pond deer we'll have to continue you know made a mistake trying to get the deer I I wanted to get him with the bow but the good news is uh I get to hunt I have a lot more time to hunt out here I'm sorry we didn't get him today but that's just real life so the next time I come out here hopefully the pond deer is still on a routine he's still in this area but it's it's a low fence guys it's the rut and he could be you know 10 miles away right now and the next time I come out I'm going to try to bring OSG and let her sit and just watch deer and get her first out and she's been asked actually asking I'm gonna unload and sign it off for the day y'all and the quest for the pond deer will continue so subscribe so don't miss a single video an outdoor action and we will see you soon on the next one
