I love that challenge.....single out one deer...

This buck (I call Pinchers) is 6.5 years old and blind in his left eye. I have some history with him. I hunted him relatively hard when he was 3.5 as he met my "shooter" minimums. The big block of riverbottom timber where he resided was clearcut the following summer. He left. Never got any pics of him at 4.5 yrs old...thought he was dead. But, last year he returned to my place and spent most of his time on the sand ridges above the now clearcut bottom. This past August I got lots of pics of him in velvet, but by Labor Day...he disappeared....never got a pic of him hard-antlered this fall...UNTIL this evening. He appeared at a feeder minutes after legal shooting light ended. He has been a loner ever since I started getting pics of him at 3.5. He is never with other bucks...not even during summer. Always arrives to feed alone. Leaves if another buck appears.

Next fall he will be 7.5 years old. If he lives....he is my #1 target.

That's a great buck to hunt Swamp, and a great back story as well....Sure hope you connect with pinchers on a future hunt.

The buck I'm hunting is a 9 point hawg, sporting a otherwise heavy, wide symmetrical 8 point rack, with the exception of 1 drop tine....

He's near 6 yrs old now, about 200 lbs and has a PHD in survival....My brother missed him 2 yrs ago with a long bow out of a climbing stand we placed just for this buck...Like pinchers he always keeps to himself, and is mostly nocturnal. His only weakness I've found is a very small window of time in the half light of dawn returning to a extremely dense black locust thicket bedding area.

Thought I had him near that spot last fall, a small grown over field leads into that thicket where he is exposed for about 50 yds...The wind was right, or so I thought, but he winded me or sensed my presence somehow & then did something extraordinary...That buck slinked down & literally cat crawled in the weeds right before my eyes, and all that was visible was the tips of his tines moving along right into that thicket...He's got my full respect now!..Might not ever get another chance at this ole'boy, but he's a worthy buck to hunt, and has my cordial invitation to match wits just one more time, Lol.

Best of luck with pinchers, and thanks for sharing!

Ky_coyote_hunter,


That's some great history with that buck your after!

This kind of stuff is what I enjoy the most about hunting a single older buck.

Good luck. Post pics when you get him.

Yes...the Missouri buck was compliments of Clay.[/quote]
I figured as much. If you wanted to kill most anything in north Missouri Clay would be the man to see![/quote]

Swamp wolf is being modest. I just supply the hunting spot. He does the rest. He’s a great woodsmen. Doesn’t need any help from me, which is a good thing. Deer ain’t my thing lol. He got to tag along on a couple duck hunts after he killed his deer. Ducks on the other hand, are one of my “things” lol.
I’ve got too many varmints I love to hunt lol. I’m a small game and bird guy at heart.
Swamp and I have been swapping hunts for 15 years now. I’ve killed 41 Georgia longbeards and a black bear and he’s killed a bunch of Missouri whitetail bucks. It’s led to a great friendship between us and our families!

That meeting at the NTA convention in Lima, Ohio in 2009 has sure led to a great friendship and many, many outstanding hunts. Big bucks, Gobblers, Bear, and that old black sow hog.

I've arrowed 12 north Missouri bucks and one doe. Four or five of those bucks easily top Pope & Young minimums. Best two are 150 and 140 gross. This trip's buck (with a rifle) was easier to pull off for an old man....for a total of 14 deer. I've got to hunt in a place I'd only dreamed about.....heart of the midwest riverbottom farm country. I've taken bucks that I never believed I'd get a chance at...and with a bow/arrow. I've seen wild whitetails from a treestand that would easily top 160 and higher. I've watched 3 to 7 bucks chasing one doe. Had bucks respond to scent, grunts, snort wheezes, and rattling antlers like it was common. I've breathed that crisp fall midwest riverbottom air on a frosty morning. I've taken some good south Georgia bucks, but there is no comparison here to North Missouri.

Also, I've tried to explain what I've seen at Clay's duck hunting property over the years. These poor wood duck shooters down here have no idea what real duck hunting is and high duck number look like.

Thank you my friend! Two old retired game wardens with a lot in common!

I'm not sure I have anything that you'll have a killin' interest in.

This area is very similar to East TX.

But, you're welcome here anytime!

I’ve killed and eaten a few pickup loads of bullfrogs. Ours are gone in this farm country. Not that many years ago you could go kill a mess anytime you wanted. Dang shame.
