The First Hunt of the Season
For many hunters, opening day is a time of high expectations and eager anticipation. It marks the beginning of another season, with new opportunities and new challenges. For CoonDog, the opening day hunt was more than just the start of the season—it was a chance to pursue a giant buck he had been tracking for months. Scouting, trail cameras, and previous observations had all led him to believe that the area he had chosen would be the perfect spot to encounter the bruiser.
This particular 161-inch whitetail had been on CoonDog’s radar for some time.

With opening day finally here, the excitement was palpable as he set up his stand in the perfect location, knowing that patience and timing would be key.
The Hunt and the Approach
As the sun rose and the woods began to come alive, CoonDog remained quiet and still in his stand. The area was known to be frequented by mature bucks, and with the rut beginning to kick in, the chances of encountering the giant were high. As the hours passed, CoonDog’s instincts and experience paid off when the 161-inch bruiser emerged from the thick cover, slowly making its way toward the feeding area.
The excitement built as the deer approached, unaware of the hunter’s presence. CoonDog remained calm, using his knowledge of deer behavior to wait for the perfect moment. As the buck closed the distance, CoonDog readied his bow. When the time came, he released the arrow, taking a deep breath as it flew true.

The Perfect Shot and a Giant Harvest
The shot was clean and precise, and the bruiser ran only a short distance before collapsing in the thick cover. The 161-inch whitetail was down, marking the successful culmination of a long hunt and a perfect opening day. CoonDog’s hard work and preparation had paid off, and the moment was one he would never forget.
This giant buck, with its massive antlers and impressive size, became a symbol of the excitement and reward that come with bow hunting. For CoonDog, the opening day harvest of this bruiser was a testament to his dedication and understanding of the sport. As the first buck of the season, it set the tone for what promises to be an exciting year of hunting.
