Congrats to Nick Coe for tagging his buck this past weekend! Thanks for sending in and great job on your pictures! Nick is a Project Manager out of the De Pere location. Here is Nick’s story:
“Friday evening I sat in the stand where my wife shot her buck 2 weeks ago. Around 4:00 I saw a decent buck chase a doe into an area where I have another stand and a cell trail camera. I chose the wrong stand…. And then a little salt in the wound when I got a picture of him at 4:15 at my other stand. But I thought maybe they’ll stay in that area till morning… So this morning I sneaked into that other stand and by 7:00 I heard grunting. The doe then appeared and she started working towards me in the brush. The buck was very vocal the whole time grunting, snort wheezing, rubbing trees, posturing. The doe was now directly below me in heavy brush. But the buck then broke off the doe and bristled up to fend off another deer in the opposite direction. While working away from me he gave me a so/so shot at 35 yards that I decided to pass on, knowing I was now in between him and his doe, I didn’t want to chance the tough shot. Sure enough he turned back to his doe and crossed my shooting lane at 20 yards giving me a perfect shot. He ran 25 yards and tipped over. It was a great end to a lot of hours up a tree. And I got this all on GoPro, or so I thought. Turns out my GoPro shut down because of cold battery error after only 6 seconds… Aside from that it was a great encounter!”
