Late archery.  It's cool to harvest one you've been watching since summer!

Nice buck, same genetics as that shed you posted, way to go. :tup:
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

I'll start my story with "I'm absolutely pleased with the buck I took this season and he was one of three that were on my hit list that I said to myself I would take on the first day I sat my stand".  The year started out with two bucks I set my sights on, the one I ended up harvesting and a huge 5x5.  I started getting pics of the two in July hoping they would hang around for late archery.  The big 5x5 and I have history as this was the third year in a row I had pics of him.  Sure enough they both hung around and I was still getting them on camera when I was getting ready for late archery.  As a bonus a third mature buck started making appearances at my set up.  I felt pretty good going into November knowing I had three bucks that I wouldn't hesitate to take a shot if presented with one.  My first cam check in November was on the 8th and all three bucks were coming around and the last pic of the big 5x5 was on the 6th.  I freshened up my bait site and checked cams one more time before season on the 24th.  No sign on the SD card of the big 5x5 since the 6th but the other two bucks are still regulars so I'm still feeling ok.  I was following the weather closely and decided to make my first sit the Saturday after thanksgiving as there was to be a huge temperature drop (with the wind chill it was -15 when I got in stand that Saturday morning) hoping the bucks would be up and hungry.  The buck I got came in at 720 am and I had him packed out to truck at 1130.  I swapped SD cards on the way out hoping maybe the big 5x5 had come by again between my last cam check and the morning I took my buck.  Got home and still no big 5x5 so I wrote him off as moving counties and felt really good about my buck.  On December 20th I went back to retrieve my camera for the year and, just my luck, guess who decided to show up 3 hours after I packed my deer out and for the first time since November 6th......yup.....big 5x5.  Maybe next year buddy! 

The first pic is the day the big 5x5 showed 3 hours after I left.  Next two are of him, one in velvet.  The last two are of the other mature I had on my mental hit list.
