So I have another really cool follow up story about my San Juan archery hunt & buck I was fortunate enough to harvest. If you look through the pictures from my original thread you'll notice the one I took when I first saw my buck dead-head down & his antlers sticking up above the grass. Little did I know at the time, I was on camera myself!! My buck (and myself as I was tracking him) passed right in front of a trail cam that was hung by another hunter. Well that hunters buddy saw my story on here and recognized me & my buck!!......what are the chances?!? Well the owner of the camera messaged me (on here) congratulating me on my success and offering to send me the pics that his trail cam took of first, my buck running by after it had been hit (blood running out his side), and then me as I was following the blood trail, and finally me taking my phone out to take the picture that posted on here!!!.....UNBELIEVABLE right!?! After I took that picture is when I noticed the trail cam. The first thing I thought of was how cool it would be to see what that camera caught! Well my good fortune continued a few days ago when the owner of that camera e-mailed me the pictures that were on that camera during those unforgettable moments of my hunt. What a fitting end to my memorable hunt this past season! I want to thank the awesome guy that sent me those pics & with his permission, I get to share them with all of you.....enjoy!!

This was about his last step. The tree to his right is where he fell over dead
