BIG GEORGIA SIX | BWB 2019 EP 17

November 1st in Georgia brought with it a palpable sense of excitement and anticipation. This marks a prime time for deer hunting, and Michael Lee was certainly ready. “We killed one in October, now we gotta kill one in November,” he declared, determination echoing in his voice. With a strategic plan to set up on the power lines, a known deer travel corridor, he and his buddy Fred were ready to see what the day would bring, applying some key deer hunting tips.

The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, with a crisp cold front having moved through just the day before. “It’s about sixty degrees today, but it’s going to drop to around forty tonight,” Michael noted, feeling optimistic about deer movement. They had been seeing plenty of fresh scrapes and signs of activity, all pointing to increased rut activity. “It’s getting right,” he said, confidence building as they settled into their stand, knowing these conditions often signal prime hunting opportunities.

With the buck now in sight, Michael took a deep breath and focused on his shot. “I can see his rack sticking up from here,” he said, filled with anticipation. “That’s a cool deer—I don’t care what he scores.” The thrill of the hunt was palpable as he prepared for the moment he had been waiting for, his senses sharp and focused.

As Michael lined up his shot, he felt a rush of confidence. “I’ve killed two bucks out of this stand before,” he reminded himself. “This could be another successful hunt.” With steady hands and a clear mind, he took aim and squeezed the trigger. The crack of the rifle echoed through the woods as the buck dropped right there in the gas line, a clean and decisive shot.

“Look at that!” Michael exclaimed, excitement coursing through him as they approached the fallen deer. “That’s a horse of a six-point right there!” He admired the impressive antlers and size of the buck, feeling a profound sense of accomplishment wash over him. “This is a big old boy—definitely one to put in the freezer.”

As they celebrated the successful hunt, Michael reflected on the experience. “I like big six-points just as much as big eight-points,” he said with a smile. “It’s all about enjoying the hunt and making memories.” With friends by his side and a successful day behind him, he felt grateful for every moment spent in the great outdoors, a testament to the enduring appeal of the chase.
