Pat Patterson finally “finds one”

Pat Patterson reported being covered up with does from the time the season opened. But good bucks were nowhere to be seen on his hunting spot near Roanoke.

His luck changed in mid-November. Patterson had returned from a business trip “sick as a dog,” but was tired of being cooped up indoors. So he went out and did some still hunting, and spotted this guy moving along a hillside. Patterson hit his grunt call and turned the buck, which eventually got close enough to offer a shot that Patterson made good on.

I’m sure he was feeling even better after tagging this beauty.
