The Bradley Buck
My luck during the opening week of Kentucky's bow season was pretty lame. Randy Bradley's wasn't. The hunter, of Leitchfield, Ky., shot this 17-point brute, which rough-scored 182 inches, at 6:30 on opening morning. Bradley had patterned the deer on a trail camera, along with several other smaller bucks in a bachelor group, for a solid month prior to his hunt, and had acquired more than 600 photos of it. It's a testament to what the month of September can do for a bowhunter who's willing to put in the scouting time.
Bradley nailed the buck at 15 yards with his Bowtech Guardian and 2-blade Rage broadhead, but only after several setbacks early that morning, including a flat tire on his ATV trailer, a pulled muscle from loading the machine into the bed of his pickup truck, a brief navigational error on the way to his stand due to a tree falling across his ATV trail, and culminating with a dropped arrow while the buck browsed 15 yards away. Fortunately, the buck didn't spook, and the hunter was able to keep his cool, ease another arrow from his quiver, and make the shot.
Mr. Bradley, with your Kentucky buck tag filled, it's a long wait until next fall, but it's a wait I'm sure you don't mind making. Congratulations on a beautiful buck.
