We join Bill on his first hunt of the 2018 season. Deer movement was good with cool temps leading to a doe kill with a unique twist. Bill also encountered a mature 8 pointer that he thought was the "Lone Oak Buck" originally. After further examination, he concluded that it wasn't him, but because of its maturity, Bill doesn't rule this buck out as a potential target for this season.
