Mara takes a big Ohio buck for her first archery buck on a hunt that lasts only 3 minutes!
- Gets out to the stand late
- Hears a buck grunting before she can climb into the stand
- Buck comes in as she is putting her release on and nocking an arrow
- Cody running camera barely gets the camera rolling
- Shot the deer from a sitting position
- No pass through shot
- Couldn't see deer drop so they pulled out
- Recovered deer later that night only 50 yards from the stand
Dan's trip north with the girls and his brother

- Pre-Rut buck lull due to testosterone build up
Mike on search of a big buck
- Deer not moving
- No sign of any bucks
- Hard first four days
- Two days straight of rain
- Pulled trail cam photos and saw a shooter buck

- All the hard work this year is paying off
- Using the bike this year to get to stand was very successful
