Whitetails at Bollingbrook

While my days in the field have been limited, they have been productive. On the 6th of Decemeber a mature 8 point stepped into our south field to freshen the scrapes he had established weeks earlier. As I saw him, I was reminded of the story of the 8 point my father had seen one one year earlier. This was the same buck, undoubtly. He had not grown and it was obvious this deer was maxed out. At 150 yards my model 700 30-06 found both lungs and the old buck was anchored to the ground. Hopefully, this is not the largesat buck harvested at the farm this year, but if it is the season will still be considered a success.
