High Brow did not disappoint! As usual this year, this big guy comes with stories. We tried everything to get the bucks to come out for Jacob. The acorns were not in our favor. We went for a mid day ride around and managed to see some huge ones then stopped and hid in the brush to rattle some out. He had a great shot at one of the trophy’s but it was the only one he told me from the start he wasn’t interested in. The night before he left we were sitting in the blind with no deer. I tried rattle some out and nothing would come. While rattling we had a bobcat appear in the brush, which we hardly ever see around here and it was BIG. I put the antlers down and place my head nearly outside to blind and start squeaking in an attempt to get the cat to come out for him. Here I am with my head out the blind making funny noises trying to get the cat to come out of the brush while it skirts around us and he starts tapping on me saying, “BIG BUCK, BIG BUCK!” Out walks High Brow who is now chasing the cat around going deeper into cover. I throw the horns back out the window and give it one last shot to distract him and here he comes for a brief moment with just enough time for Jacob to get off a shot. Long story short, I rattled up a bobcat and squeaked up a buck. 😳😂 Congratulations on a truly amazing deer! Next time you are down here I can’t imagine what stories we will create. Who knows, maybe we can get that cat that’s on your bucket list.
