Another NE Whitetail
« on: April 25, 2011, 08:25:02 PM »
In September '2000 all at once I had 12 forked horn bucks come under my stand while archery hunting.  One particular buck caught my eye because he had a small white patch on either side of his neck.  In '2005 I took my Father in law and his brother into the same area to hunt whitetail for their first time.  His brother [Garrold] got excited and wanted to shoot the first buck we saw; a forked horn.  I told him to hold off.  Less then a minute later this buck went up the ridge beside us and Garrold put him down.  Its neat to see what that forked horn yearling turned into five years later.  I mounted the buck for him and also gave him a shed I had picked up from the same buck.  Wish they all had capes this nice.
