2 Trophies Down
The two hunters featured in this story have already punched their tags on unforgettable bucks.
Bluegrass Bruiser With October just around the corner, it’s probably a safe bet that your heart, soul, and mind are already in the treestand somewhere. However, many hunters across the nation have been extremely busy over the past few weeks turning hopes and dreams into reality. In fact, Nick Brumley of Kentucky recently punched a gaping arrow hole through an early-season monster that would make any hunter’s jaw drop.

great story. friends like that are hard to come by. its good to see them do the right thing and even better to see them rewarded for their good deeds. congrats guys you deserve it
Travis, that is an awesome story. It is nice to know that friends like that are still around. Not many people would have dropped a planned hunt to do what this guy did. Looks like it truly paid off in the end though. Awesome deer!
Thanks Anthony for your comments and I am really glad you liked he article. Those were two amazing bucks. However, it was tough to cover the second story about the loss of a hunting buddy.

Travis, the article "A Buck for Ronnie" is truly a touching story. A lot of people would have continued on to the hunt. The fact that he went back to help his friends wife shows what kind of person he really is...great morals and true character. I am so glad that he finally got to go on the hunt and tag a deer of a lifetime. Congratulations!!!
Papadeaner,
Utilizing a trail-cam to figure out what bucks are in a particular area is actually a smart strategy. In the past, I've used mock scrapes and attractants (in legal states) to draw bucks in front of the camera.
The KS buck was the result of a spot and stalk hunt in open terrain. This deer was not taken over apples or corn. Furthermore, this story is more about paying tribute to a hunting buddy that past away just before the hunt. With that being said, I apologize for the confusion with the trail-cam picture. I would never cover a story that involved any type of hunting strategies or techniques that were not ethical. Thanks for your comments.

Re: pic #3... I'm bemused (that's the polite word) at this amazing convergence of food sources - right there on the trail no less, wow! Glad you were able to get a trail cam in place at just the right time of the year, when apples start dropping into shelled corn.
Seriously, folks? I'm all for a good hunting experience and yet "fair chase" seems a bit wanting in this photo.
