Great story! Hope to hear about the 102 year old buck next year.

Both the Old Man Buck and you also Barry deserve a Salute! We love to hunt them but sometimes we just love to be there under the canopy of Gods Creation and breathe the same air the creatures do...There is more enjoyment being a traditional hunter or should I call us "tradition woodsmen" then most people will ever understand!
The smell of Autumn,the foot steps of a deer as it approaches or just to "Be Still and know there is a God" that gives us just a little piece of what He has in store for us as we enter His Holy Kingdom..

We tend to "highlight" our accomplishments in kills and photos of them, but there are so many more memories and stories about our time in the woods that really make it special for us.  Just hearing you tell us again about that old Monarch is a great reminder to us that "there is more"....much more!  Thanks Barry.

Thank you Uncle Barry.

But you know B, he probably ran into some of his buddies later on down at the watering hole and told them "yeah was just walking down the trail this morning and I look in this tree and saw this man sitting there that looked about 100 years old. Pretty sure it was the same guy I saw last year".

You should start leaving him a can of cream corn with a shot of good bourbon in it for his arthritis.

Really cool.  Did you get him on video or snap any pics?

[Butchie]

A well deserved salute indeed.  Thanks for sharing this.

Thank you guys for all the nice comments. Apparently the Good Lord was pleased too because he offered me a beautiful buck at 7:56 this morning. The buck shredded a tree for seven straight minutes at 19 yards before he offered me the shot. It was pretty intense but I got it all on film too. Gene took my photos home to crop them or something so you'll have to wait until I get them back. I was very please with him because I passed him up last year on film because he had a giant tumor on his chest. He was pretty much all healed up so I took him this year. Sorry for the teaser. Please stay tuned. I'm whipped. Thanks. BW

I would love to hear the stories that old, battle hardened buck could tell. What a life he must have had to have avoided all the dangers he has faced! What a neat experience!

[meathead]

Quite a week you have had.  Congrat's.

[coconutdave]

Very nice....  

[Gatekeeper]

Congratulations buddy!    

[Dirtybird]

Always great news to hear.  Especially when you put in the time and effort that Barry and gene put forth.  Can't wait for the pics and story and ofcourse the video.  Congrats Barry.

Funny this came up.  I was thinking about the post about the "100 year old man" yesterday while I was in my stand.  Really good stuff Barry. I bet by now, he knows he's "cool" with you. It's fun to think about the live he has lived.
