Thankful to live a life with such amazing experiences.
Big Buck Energy
Don’t forget to get out and make some memories catching some fish with the fam!! This was a special time catching smallies with my mom, sister and Simeon that we’ll remember forever. #bassfishing #smallmouthbass #newyork #lakeontario #family
I still can’t believe I passed this buck multiple times everywhere from 30-40 yards with my bow and 50 yards with my gun. Don’t be like me I’m an idiot lol i thought he was a 4yr old and was trying to only shoot 5+yr old bucks. I no longer care about all that bc in my opinion it just takes the fun out of deer hunting. I missed out on an opportunity of a lifetime for myself. Watching a buck for a couple years and then turn into this stud but not harvest him bc he wasn’t “fully mature”. This buck has now been MIA for two seasons. If I’ve learned anything over the years it’s hunt your own hunt and don’t worry about what other people are doing or saying. Not everyone is playing on the same field or has the same opportunities. I had some fantasy idea that I can shoot a 170/180 every year if I just hold out but you can’t hunt what’s not there and I would be more than happy to shoot a 160 class buck like this one here. At this particular time I had never even had an opportunity on a buck of this caliber 🤦🏼♂️ however this has always been a trait of mine. Even in NY I was passing rly good bucks bc I just have a hard time letting an arrow fly or pulling the trigger and ending my season bc I just love to be out there hunting and dreaming of a giant. However I’ve got to stop putting in so much work to just let great opportunities slip through my fingers. Idk if anyone else can relate to this but if you do just have fun out there and try not to let the thought of what others may think of your buck affect the deer you end up shooting.
The 23/24 season has now come to an end but I’m looking forward to what the 24/25 season will bring. From what I’ve seen this season I have a lot to look forward to!

My hunt for the Big Busted 12. What an incredible hunt! I’m always learning and this was the most humbling learning experience I’ve ever had. A big thank you to my family that supports what I love to do and a dad that put this passion in me and an uncle that has taught me more than I ever thought I could know about bowhunting. A big thank you to this buck as well!! He scores just shy of 160” and we figure he busted off around 15” of antler thinking he may have been low 170’s before he busted off what he had earlier in the season scrapping with other big bucks. Thanks for watching!!
