Great Buck. Way to stick with a tough bloodtrail. Your success doesn't go unrecognized, and IMO you have an excellent outlook of the way a hunt should be. Congrats

Sundance congrats on the buck!  You are a blacktail guru, I always look forward to reading your posts. I always respect the hunt more than the kill but know the roller coaster of emotions that accompanies the pursuit of mature animals.  I thank you for sharing and you have my respect.

What a great read! The words must just pour out of you like water from a firehose.  Once turned on, get out of the way!  Perhaps you should author a book...... 

Sounds like a great season to me - one that you will likely never forget, and one that I could only imagine through the detailed descriptions and personal feelings provided by you.  I felt like I was right there with you, feeling your concerns and sufferings. 

Congrats on your personal lessons learned.   (great buck too!)

Nice story and pictures. Would be nice to see a smile on your face though to culminate your efforts and the end of a season.

Beautifully written.  I also have gotten complacent in hunts that I figured I had "wired", only to be frustrated by an "easy" doe hunt.  Deer have a way of restoring our humility by surprising us with their elusiveness and adaptability.  I suppose that's why we still have them around to hunt- they are the furthest thing from a dodo bird, that's for sure.

Have you considered a career as an outdoors writer?

Very nice write up and a respectable buck.  The facial expressions in your pictures do a good job of summing up your feelings about the hunt (and your future hunts).

Sundance,

Thanks for the reminder about the importance of keeping our humility. Great contribution to the Forum, and a nice buck, too!
