Great story and pics....good things come to those who wait!!!

I think the easy days of deer hunting in Southern Ontario have passed us by for a few years.....this makes sending an arrow on a perfect shot(like you did) only that much more rewarding!

Good luck with the sinus infection!

Congrats on the buck. I've had a tough time getting close to them this season as well.....I've been seeing them, by not within 50 yards! Sometimes the buggers eem to have you pegged. I've been scrapping with an 8 pointer I've seen 4 times, and watched graze while I can only watch him, out of bow range! I'm in the right area, but choosing the wrong stand....

Hopefully my luck turns as your did....Great perserverance.

That is a very nice Buck. Congrats on your patience and perseverance. It has to be nice hunting in the snow. We just got dumped on over the weekend 14". Maybe I'll go out after Christmas, I still have 1 doe tag left for PA.

As they say, it is not over until it is over.Congrats on the late season kill.The plan always comes together when you put in the time and don't give up.Most guys would not have been out there the way you felt.I know how you felt since I have suffered with the sinus problems the past couple of weeks.

What a way to end the season !!!!
I get depressed if I do not get a harvest of venison for the winter , nothing compares to eating your own deer knowing that you earned it through skill ,patience,scouting,practice,ect.
Great buck.

Thank you I know exactly what you mean about having venison for the winter, my family loves it even my 2 little girls will lick the plate clean lol. He is a great buck and he will be some excellent eating and it is very gratifying when it all comes together and the work and time put in pays off even though it was at the buzzer probably makes it even more so. I tell ya I was never happier or more excited to see a deer that I can remember.

Thanks everyone just goes to show that it can happen anytime and sometimes it can happen fast. It only takes a couple minutes for it to happen from the time you spot them to the time they hit the ground. For what its worth when you have all but given up get back to basics and give it one more try. Play the wind and stick to the food source, don't venture too far into the staging area's they seem to be bedding real close to the food source this time of year (in my experience) you never know when your luck will change. Good luck everyone on filling your tag at the buzzer.

Good story and great pic's
You probably forgot how bad you were feeling

Man you had a full day!!!

Lol it was a full day and one I will remember for many years to come, and yes I actually did forget about my rotten sickness for a little while or at least I didn't let it hold me down from my high from the days events, I am still smiling.

[Fishn-Hunter]

Very, very nice!!! Way to hang in there.

Try one of those Netti pots for the sinus infection. I hear they really work.

Maple.

Hey great thanks I will give that a try, man its really hanging on, I hope it lets up soon. My 4 year old just came down with a fever poor thing she is white as a sheet.

Congrats Bud, You def had the wildlife gods at your beckon call that day, you were nailin them on the ice and then nailed the big guy! beauty deer sorry I couldn't be there for the recovery! Now we can focus on tryin to break a PB on ice!!!

Hey thanks man I should have bought lottery tickets that day lol. I know you would have been there to help in a heart beat if you were not working. Yes it is time to hit the ice hard, you have set the bar pretty high for Walleye at 15lbs 11oz. you topped my 14lb PB lol but I will be gunnin for ya lol

I couldn't agree with you more Southern Ontario has taken a big hit on the whitetail population and I also believe its going to be tuff hunting for the next few years, and I don't think there will be many extra archery tags given out for a couple years and antlerless tags also.
