I haven't been posting much progress on my Laeger 250R build, so I figured I would share what I have been up too...
I managed to score a spot on a 1000 acre Western Kentucky hunting lease last year and I have spent the better part of every weekend since the bow opener in September chasing whitetails.... checking trail cameras, etc. etc. .
I convinced the family to spend the Thanksgiving Holiday with me at the hunting lease rather than staying at home and cooking a large dinner. We ate at Cracker Barrel for lunch on Thanksgiving Day, and I talked her and the two kids into spending the afternoon in the hunting blind with me. I never imagined having the opportunity to harvest a deer that afternoon much less this guy. He stepped out into a food plot full of oates that we planted back in early October, and the rest is History....I had a few nightime pictures of this deer on trail cam, but no daytime pictures.
Not a monster by any means, and not the biggest one I had caught on camera, but still a nice buck in my book. I'm proud of him. 9 Points, Gross Score 136 7/8.
