Been playing cat and mouse with this buck over the past couple weeks but we finally met up. He was headed to a couple of persimmon trees that had started dropping. These persimmon trees are on the edge of a large grown up field and we put a small 20x50 yard long kill plot along the persimmon trees as well. Having bedding and food as well as a food source that is limited in time once it hits the ground really pulls deer in. I've killed my biggest bucks earlier in the season when a mature buck is much more patternable. Throw in a cold front and knowledge that a target buck is using the area and you'll probably have an encounter. Also, this buck was taken in Hardeman county around Grand Junction. The heart of CWD country. Don't let the fear tactics scare you, you can still allow deer to mature even with CWD. Every deer I've harvested over the past few years has been positive and all have been 4.5+. Bucks need genetics to grow a large set of antlers but more importantly they need age.

Awesome buck man!
Just goes to show that deer can survive cwd and still be ok and all these bs practices they are trying to do aren't going to matter.
