The video “7 Year Old Buck with CRAZY MASS! (Snort Wheezed Him In!)” tells the remarkable story of a buck named Soda Pop and his progression over several years, culminating in a memorable hunt. The tale begins in 2018 with trail cam photos of two bucks: Soda Pop, a young buck showing potential, and Coke Can, a mature buck with a striking drop tine. Coke Can, at the top of the hunting hit list, captivated the hunters with his size and unique antlers.
As the years passed, Soda Pop began to emerge as a promising buck. By 2019, his antler mass and width bore a resemblance to Coke Can. However, Soda Pop’s elusiveness made encounters rare, adding to the excitement of tracking his progress. Meanwhile, Coke Can’s story ended in 2021 when he was found dead from natural causes at an estimated age of 8.5 years. His death marked the end of an era, shifting the hunters’ focus fully to Soda Pop.
In 2022, Soda Pop reached his prime at 7.5 years old, showcasing exceptional antler mass and thickness. The hunters, equipped with years of data and strategic planning, eagerly prepared for the season. On October 27, 2022, the culmination of their efforts arrived. Using a combination of grunts and snort-wheeze calls, the hunter lured Soda Pop into range, taking a perfect 25-yard shot. Soda Pop, an extraordinary buck, was finally downed after surviving seven hunting seasons, far beyond the average lifespan of wild bucks.
The hunter reflected on the deep respect and admiration they had for Soda Pop, recognizing his resilience and the years of effort it took to bring him down. The successful hunt symbolized not just a personal achievement but also the rewards of careful habitat management and ethical hunting practices.
Celebrations followed with friends, marking the 2022 season as one to remember. The experience reinforced the hunter’s passion for the sport and appreciation for the challenges of hunting and the beauty of nature. The video closed with gratitude and optimism, emphasizing the importance of respecting wildlife and cherishing every hunting opportunity. Soda Pop’s story became a testament to perseverance, dedication, and the connection between hunters and the natural world.
