Fritel Bow Buck taken in ND

 

Travis Fritel and his 2010 Bow kill

     Yes, he is at it again.  My friend Travis Fritel, who shot a monster buck with a bow last year in 2009 (shown below), has arrowed himself possibly a more impressive buck already this ND Bow season.  After receiving trail camera pictures of the huge 11 point typical buck, it took Travis only two days before taking down the mature whitetail.  Once Travis received the pictures, he set up a portable stand near the trail camera and was hunting only a few hours before the buck walked out 20 yards in front of him.  Once he made the tough shot between two branches and several rows of corn, he was off to track the buck with friend Justin Mack.  Giving the deer some time, they waited until well past dark to begin tracking.

     The two tracked the buck through sloughs, a cornfield, and tilled black dirt for around 3hrs.  The blood trail eventually lead the duo back into the sloughs where Travis, equipped with waiters, caught a glimpse of his nocturnal lighted nock glowing above the water.  Upon further inspection, a half submerged buck lay waiting for this successful hunter.  AT approximately 3:00 A.M. the high fives and celebration began with another great whitetail buck harvested.
