My buddy Gil took his first buck opening day on public ground. He is on our lease but always hunts with family first week of gun. He has always passed smaller bucks for whatever reason. He has hunted basically his whole life and has killed does but never an antlered buck. 20 year wait well worth it. Proud of my friend. He also got married this October to a wonderful woman and shot this deer with an ar 450 bushmaster he built himself
