My friend Pat Paterson hunted most of last week, and reported seeing a big uptick in buck activity about midweek, with more bucks grunting and trailing.
He passed on eight small bucks during the week, then this heavy-antlered buck walked by on Friday afternoon.
Pat is one of those CrossFit junkies so I bet he actually like hauling this big boy out of the woods!

Great buck, Pat!
