Well the story starts about 15 years ago when I discovered this particular oak flat on a ridge, and was amazed at the buck sign. I have harvested many bucks from that area with a bow, but never a trophy, Because of the remotesness of this area, I hadn't hunted it for the past 4 years and with one week left in the Archery season, I decided to make the hike and see if the area was still deery. I climbed a hickory tree that I have used many times before, and the first deer that came through was Mr. Big.
I had decided 3 years ago after reaching my 40th bow killed Whitetail that it was time that I waited on a trophy, and during the past 3 seasons I have passed on more than 50 in bow range Whitetails.
I'm glad I followed through with waiting, otherwise who knows!

OK you can wake up now. I'm done!
