“I saw this buck for the first time in early October and spent two weeks trying to ambush him when he disappeared. November 5th, I was sitting in a chilly treestand for the morning when he made his appearance again following a doe into bow range.” -Jordan Budd

“During an early Arkansas morning of October 18, 2007, this buck came into my light doe bleat calling while I was sitting in a tree stand. I shot him hard quartering away at 24 yards below my stand.” -Clay Newcomb

"I killed this buck on September 19th, 2023 in Minnesota. He was munching away on soybeans and acorns during the first couple days of the season, what did you guess he scored?" - Tony Peterson

"I killed this buck 01/09/24. I was in Mississippi filming the Mississippi River Expedition with Clay Newcomb. This buck came out at about 90 yards and I shot him during a 40mph wind storm. You can watch this hunt, “Mississippi River Expedition” on the MeatEater YouTube channel." -Brent Reaves

“This buck worked a scrape 25 yards from me for over two minutes, and I had no idea. It was 2 pm on November 2. It wasn't until he left the scrape and started walking towards me that I noticed his presence. Luckily, he gave me enough time to point the camera at him and shoot him. He was my first whitetail buck with a bow. I nearly missed my opportunity because I was messing with my camera while he was at the scrape. It's a good reminder to not mess with anything, cameras or phones, and stay focused on your surroundings at all times when you're in a tree during the rut.” -Janis Putelis

“I killed this buck on the sweeping prairie of western Nebraska after spotting him on an early November morning heading into a riverside thicket of buck brush and then moving in on him for an afternoon ambush. There wasn't a huntable tree in sight, so I laid low in a patch of grass within shooting range of the pinch point that I hoped the buck might use to head back to a neighboring doe hotspot before dark. Sure enough, that's exactly what he did and I got an arrow in him at 20 yards while kneeling in head high grass. It was an up close encounter that I won't soon forget.” -Mark Kenyon
