In this episode Mike and I recap my recent hunt in my home state of Virginia. I was fortunate enough to harvest a tall, beautiful 7 pointer on my private land. I went into this hunt with hopes of harvesting a doe. I sat on the ground in a brushy hedgerow on the edge of a field, building some cover around me by stacking deadfall limbs. With about 5 minutes left of shooting light, I spotted the buck about 270 yards out in the field. With the low light setting I was unable to determine whether or not he was a shooter. I ended up calling the buck into 15 yards for a perfect broadside shot! Thanks everybody for listening! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
