Chris Ockert – Michigan
I purchased 40 acres of land in 2001, it is a square 40 acres, and half of it is wooded. This past year I planted a small food plot with your 100 square feet samples and an acre of Chicory PLUS. I have seen more deer this year than I have in the past 5 years. I enjoy sitting in a tree and videotaping deer. When I see a deer coming, instead of grabbing my bow I grab my video camera. I would love to see a small buck grow into a 5 ½ year old monster.
November 26th, last year, it was about 50 degrees outside. Much to warm but I decided to go out and sit in my tree stand anyway after I got out there I was sweating and didn’t think I was going to see anything because it was so warm I almost got down out of the tree. Around 4pm a car honked its horn, I hunt near a semi busy road, I looked over and here comes this buck with a very nice rack. I put him in my scope and waited for him to slow down and took a shot with my muzzleloader. He dropped. He is an 8 point with 11 ½ tins with an 18 ¾ inch spread I took him to the taxidermist to get him mounted and he scored 135 5/8.
