Tennessee Velvet Hunt Success

For others, the hunt was an enormous success. My longtime buddy, Jon David Johnson, had the possibility to punch his tag on a phenomenal buck on Day 2 of the hunt. His hunt was a sworn statement to the truth that you’ve obtained to hustle to make issues occur and never be afraid to make a transfer when you’re not on the X. 

“We moved an unproductive set noon on Saturday,” says Johnson. “I moved the stand to an island of timber on a bean area and overgrown pasture edge alongside a fence line. I had no digital camera there and no historical past with the setup. It was only a spot that felt proper and had a good wind. After watching does and a few small bucks early within the night, a buck popped out at 140 yards simply earlier than darkish.”

“I by no means thought I used to be going to be within the sport with him because of the distance and time left of taking pictures mild. Nonetheless, quite than searching beans, he got here proper down the fence edge, straight to me at nearly a jogging tempo and introduced a shot at 24 yards. The pace at which I went from considering it was over, to having a shot, shook me up as unhealthy as I can keep in mind! It was a lot enjoyable.”
