It's been a tough season for a lot of us and it was no different for my cousin Ken. Ken had been at it all season and seen several deer, but couldn't seem to find where the big bucks were hanging out during the day. After moving his trail camera he started getting pictures of a big 6 pointer and a nice 8 pointer.

One Friday, December 11th he was out for an afternoon hunt when he heard a stick snap behind him. As he turned to see what made the noise Ken saw one of the big bucks he had been after! Slowly he got to his feet and drew back on the deer as it fed within 15 yards of his stand. Ken watched as the arrow hit its mark and the buck ran 50 yards and piled up.

Congrats to Ken on an awesome late season whitetail! Just goes to show you that if you get out there and put the time and effort in you will eventually connect. I'll be out there until the end hoping for the same success that Ken had. Stick with it till the end because you can't get one from the couch!
