Thank you all for watching. This was a very memorable hunt for me where I called in a Monster Manitoba Whitetail during the rut that I had previously shown to my late grandpa Wayne. Shredder is a giant non-typical whitetail with tons of mass and lots of character. This was one of my biggest bow bucks to date and I was able to self film the entire hunt. I truly believe this was a buck from above from my grandpa Wayne.
STORY - This one’s for Grandpa.
After a late and tough start to my whitetail season, I got news that my grandpa was in the hospital and things were not looking well. I cut my season short and headed up to visit him.
Over the next few days my grandpa and I visited and talked a lot about hunting. He asked me how things were going and I showed him a picture of a buck I called Shredder. A big bodied, gnarly looking buck that I assumed to be the culprit of a few big rubs on a property I just got permission on.
When I showed him the picture he said, “Wow is that ever a big buck, I hope you get him!” I didn’t know what to say, I hoped I’d be visiting him for the rest of the whitetail season so I simply said “I’ll get him one day”.
As fate would have it, things turned for the worst. On one of our last talks together, I could barely muster up a word. He broke the ice and started talking about hunting. He wished me good luck and that I’d get a buck soon as it was getting really cold out. Before I left, I told him that I’d get a buck for him this year.
He passed shortly after and 4 days later I snuck into my spot to get some much needed tree therapy. I hung my set and rattled shortly after daylight. Twenty minutes later Shredder stepped into a meadow 100 yards away and I grunted him in to 15 yards. My arrow flew true striking his heart, and he expired in seconds. One hour into my sit and the heaviest, most gnarly buck I’ve ever laid my eyes on was on the ground.
As I walked up to him I found a buck skull just 10 feet away with fresh blood in the shape of a heart from Shredder on it. Initially I didn’t think much of it but then it finally hit me. It was a buck for both grandpa and I, and was his final sign that he was right there with me all along.
You can find the full story of the hunt for shredder in the 2023 Winter Article of Big Buck Magazine.
