SHED BUCK

Chad Maves - North Dakota - December 30, 2022

This is a pretty wild story.  Chad had been in North Dakota for several days and finally, his target buck came in during the daylight.  One problem, he had shed one of his antlers.  Chad decided to let the buck walk that night.  After the hunt, Chad went for a walk to see if he could find the shed antler, and he did!  The next day, Chad headed back into the same stand and decided that since he already had 1 antler, if the buck would come in again still carrying the other side, he would try to harvest him.  As luck would have it, the buck came in still carrying the other side and Chad made the shot count.  Walking up on the deer, there were NO ANTLERS on his head! Lucky for Chad, the base of the other antler was sticking out of the snow right next to the dead buck.  What a crazy story!
