Larry’s Blog: The Never Give Up Buck

Did you ever see a “good” buck on your way to camp, or, in a trail camera photo then hunted him in that immediate area for several days?  Then when you did not see him, gave up and started hunting elsewhere?  In that case, did you ever wonder what happened to that buck? Was he […]
