I used my last buck tag on New Years Day, actually an either sex tag, in Louisiana we are issued 2 Antered, 3 Antlerless and 1 Either Sex tags. I very seldom use any antlerless tags. Hunting in public swamp land with fast rising water and didn't know if the bedding had been overtaken or not. I went in early and decided I still may have a chance.

Climbed the tree I picked out and was settled in at 2:30 pm.The wind was out of the north and I expected the buck to come out of the northwest following the water line. The rising water was about 20 yards west of my tree with wood ducks all around. Watched the ducks, a few squirrels and a couple of raccoons waiting for the late evening movement. I hadn't seen are heard any deer movement and legal shooting light had only 5 minutes left. Then I heard the sloshing footsteps and this guy gave me a 14 yard shot, recovered the the next morning, only made it 60 yards.

Those swamp donkeys taken from large public flooded timber garner a large deal of respect from me. Some of the toughest bucks on earth to hunt IMO.

Good job. Great buck.

You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.
