Sticker Buck Down

(Pictured above is Marty Wolf with the Sticker Buck)

     After doing some last minute preparation for the upcoming rifle season, my dad and I decided to swing into the Wolf Camp and see how our bow hunting only neighbors have been doing.  The Wolf's have been practicing quality deer management longer then any of our neighbors in the area and they have been successful hunters all the more.

     Soon we were greeted with hand shakes and deer hunting stories.  One of those story's goes a little like this...

     It was Oct. 23 and Marty Wolf was hunting in one of his portable stands.  Not too long into his hunt and sometime around 5:00 P:M he noticed a nice buck making his way toward his stand.  Having two trail camera pictures of what has been dubbed the Sticker Buck, it didn't take Marty long to notice the extra tines shooting out of either G2.  At about 50 yards away the buck decided to bed down.  With plenty of day light left, Marty decided to just wait it out and see what Stickers next move would be.

     Another deer came into view, but unlike the serious head gear Sticker was wearing, this buck only had a couple forks.  Soon the little buck made his way closer to where Sticker was bedded down and began to make a scrape.  Sticker didn't even bother to look at the smaller younger buck while the whole commotion was going on.  After the fork buck was done, he walked within 15 yards of where Marty was seated.  

     A little while later Sticker was back on his feet and ready to move.  Following on the same trail the fork previously traveled, Sticker made his way to within 15 yards of Marty.  Making a clean shot, it was not long until Marty was admiring the stickers in his own hands.
