He had been spotted for 5 years here and there, but remained elusive. We were all after him…the “management buck” we called “BIG 6”. The wind was calm that cold October morning at Buffalo Mountain Ranch. I was hunting in a tent under a huge oak tree covered with cedars in the middle of a large wheat field. The sun began to rise and my heart started pounding as I videoed all the deer around me. I had several nice bucks to choose from all within 30 yards. There were 2 big 8 points, 2 tall 9 points, and a wide 10 point, all trophy’s… but the one I wanted was “Big 6” and there he stood broadside at 20 yards! I stopped videoing the whitetail free-for-all and picked up my trusted, Mathews bow. As I aimed at my sought after buck, I remembered Rick’s great advice…MAKE A LUNG SHOT… and I let go. To the lungs my arrow flew and tracking him the 100 yards was easy. My trophy 6 point buck was on the ground! This was the BEST hunt! Tammy Worley
