Greg Hildebrand, Brunswick, Ohio,, Deer harvested in Columbia Station, Ohio
Thank you God! Friday, November 13th, 7:45 am.
I got to my spot "The Holy Land" at 5:45am, 50 yards before my stand i tied on a drag string soaked with "Doc's Extreme Heat" then walked 20 yards from my stand and 100 yards past my stand. then returned to the trail that ascends up the hillside 20 yards from my stand and hung my drag string on a branch. I then climbed into my stand and waited for daylight. At daybreak i gave a couple loud doe bleats and two grunts and heard a deer destroying a tree some 100 yards behind me, i grunted again, then silence,,some 30 minutes later iheard a deer walking and looked over and saw him coming, he got to my scent trail and put his nose to the ground and came in like i had him on a crankbait, followed the trail and stopped to sniff the string at 20 yards and i released my easton ACC with a muzzy 100 grain broadhead into his boiler room. He took two big leaps and stood still 20yards away so i reached back and grabbed another arrow, nocked it and shot again dropping him in his tracks.
He is 10point dressed at 250 pounds, 26" neck behind the ears, and he green scored 194 2/8 gross Boone and Crockett

Sorry...just wanted to give a little story of my 2009 Buck & an extra Picture.

Well vacation for me started on Oct. 30th and it didnt take long for the hard work and a lil bit of luck to all work in my favor. I had been hunting a funnel between two clover fields where there was an abundance of big buck sign along with a variety of pictures that I had captured throughout the month of September and October. On the morning of the 31st I seen a nice 8 pt probably in the 130's nudging six does but after not being presented with a shot the woods seemed to die off. I got down out and went to hang a stand in another funnel along a crick between a cow pasture and a huge 1/2 cut corn field which is where I knew a lot of the big bucks were staging at before they crossed the road under the cover of darkness to go and feed at our feeders which is probably about 700 yards from my stand. We had two or three shooters that were frequently appearing at this feeder about an hour after sunset so I put together a plan to invade in on there staging area and hang a stand. I hung the stand at 1 o'clock and went back showered at the camp and was back in at 2 o'clock. I didnt start seeing deer until about 5:15. I seen a 125" 8 pt nudgin around three does and out of no where I heard a couple deer on the hillside in front of me run down the hill and I knew what was goin on. The two does followed by a big narly buck were headed my way. I stood up and bleated 2 times and I heard the big buck splash into the creek and start a b-line for my setup. He was crunching and busting everything in site as he walked directly at me. I didnt actually see him untill he was forty yards in front of me due to alot of brush and a big oak in front of me. I slowly reached for my bow, clipped my release, and drew. I settled the pin in a shooting lane at 15 yards. He walked threw the lane and the arrow was set loose. Crack! He ran at full sprint 20 yards into a barb wire fence, sparks flew everywhere as he went up off all four feet down on the fence on his neck. He turned ran twenty yards passed my tree and did the old stiff legged wobble and bit the dust. I knew he was big but not this big. He scored 155-4/8 and dressed out at 224lb.

On Veteran's Day I shot a buck of a life time. I was hunting my Uncles Bud’s farm in Warren County surrounded by thick honeysuckle. At 12:15pm this bruiser came in with his nose to the ground. Took aim and hit him at 13 yards, ran 30 yards and dropped. His official green score was 185 7/8, 10 points, G3-16", 22" spread and weighed 250 lbs.
Uncle Bud was a Korean War Veteran and passed away a couple months ago. In one of our last conversation, shortly before he died, I asked him to send a big one my way, and I can't help but feel he did...on Veteran's Day.
