A Hunt Made In Heaven

It's hard to know where to start on our story with the buck we call "Cotton Eyed Joe," because while we only knew him for the span of two weeks, he's the type of deer that you spend all your efforts trying to catch up to, whether you know he exists or not. He's the type of buck that has made me brace single-digit temps, sit all day in a treestand, and put in extra time during the summer in preparation for the fall season. The type of buck that you always dream will show up — even when you know the odds are not in your favor. We may have only known of him for a couple of weeks, but in reality, the hunt for him had been much longer.
