Button Buck
I've been scouting a piece of public in Onslow since the weekend before Thanksgiving -- found an active funnel with a lot of sign and bedding down below, but couldn't ever figure out where they were going into it from and why. Tried checking out the opposite direction of the funnel today about half a mile away, walked through some muddy marsh and creeks, snuck up on this abnormal 3-pointer (one antler is broken off around 5" up but the other is a normal 2-point) taking a deep nap a little before 1PM.
Popped him awake and standing with my bad attempt at a doe call and double-lunged him at ~10 yards from behind some palmetto leaves using a Point Blank Proline I've used forever (and should probably replace) and a Ramcat broadhead @ 55lbs draw weight (the lowest the Proline will go).
Even with most of them sleeping all day and not moving much, it's still not too late in the season to get a buck via archery on the ground if you have the time to do some heavy scouting/tracking, this was my 8th day on that land and the 3rd consecutive one.
