Our family has been after this buck since 2009, as he was a shooter at 3.5 years old. We have photos of him all the way back to 2008 as a 2.5 year old. My dad missed him on Thanksgiving day 2009, shooting under him as he crossed a 10 yard wide shooting strip at 100 yards. Only got photos of him last year.

Opening day 2011, I saw him cross my sewer line food plot at 8:17am heading towards a bedding area my brother was hunting. At 9:40am, my brother called him within 10 yards behind his stand with a doe in heat bleat can. Unfortunately for him, as he turned to take the shot, he knocked his Gatorade bottle out of the stand, causing the deer to bound off. This lead to his name Lucky, as he's gotten 2 "chances" at this point.

1 week later to the day, we awoke to the ending of the rain on the camper. We head out with high hopes of the deer being on the move after an evening of rain. 8:40am, he comes out on a food plot on a power line, 175 yards from my dad. The rest is history. We even got a picture of him at 6:55a.m. about 100 yards from where I was set up that morning on another food plot, heading towards my father 400 yards away.  These are the words of my son Fred.  We have all had a lot to do with the harvesting of this buck.

I call it the Miehe's 8 Pointer.  We have fed, trail cam pictured and hunted this deer for years.  This was truly a family project.  Age: 51/2  Field Dressed - 150 lbs  Gross score 141 inches.
