Personal best- 11/3/16
I found this funnel on a friend's farm this spring while turkey hunting. Pretty classic pinch point between a pasture and river. It's maybe 20 yards across. I prepped the spot in spring and waited for the perfect November day to hunt it.
This morning I'm trying to navigate the fog and not cross paths with the resident grumpy bull while I crossed the pasture to my target tree. It's a little unnerving when you are walking seemingly aimlessly in the fog- with one eye on the gps and the other at the huge sets of eyes and horns staring at you not knowing which one is the bull. Anywho- thank the Lord for my gps this morning cuz I'd never have found my target tree in the fog without it. After I found the tree it was a leaning and twisted work of art. The LW gear was another peice of equipment that saved this hunt. I'd have never been able to hunt this tree w/o the offset batwing bracket.
I wish there was some awesome story to go along with this buck. But I was set up for an hour at most and two does brought him past me 15-30 minutes after the fog lifted. He was grunting the whole way. Shot him at 15ish yards and he went 100 yards before tipping over. Way longer than any buck I've ever put a slick trick through.
Thank you Lord, thanks to my family, thanks to my friends and thanks to the Beast for keeping me motivated to stick with it and hunt every chance I had. My time in the woods this year is sparse due to busy family life. I couldn't be happier! Thanks for reading and good luck this year!

Gratz! You never know how they will drop.... biggest I got took two hops, 15 yards and fell heart shot. Last year had to take a smaller one again heart shot and he ran 85 to 95 yards both were through the center of the heart.
