Just when I thought I had his picture I would have a camera fail, or an sd card problem and the list goes on. I called him the "ghost" because it seemed like that's what I was chasing. Just a hoof print to haunt my daily thoughts. Be even better if he ends up on the wall.
I know what you mean about that, I've played that game with other bucks in the past. I think it ended up being a detriment to me trying to kill him.
This particular buck lives in a piece that's about 1900-2000 acres of nothing but woods and swamp that has no roads going through it and all around it there's more land that's the same so hopefully I can get a crack at him next year but we'll see. I did shoot a decent ten point in there this season while still hunting in the snow. I only had a second to make a decision whether or not to shoot and it didn't end up being the big boy but that's ok, he's still there for the chase so we'll just see what happens.
I'll get a camera in there and see if I can get a photo of him.
