This will be Bill’s last hunt before the holidays. He heads to a Redneck Blind where he has got pictures of a mature deer a few weeks prior in hopes that he makes his way past. The night starts off pretty slow but picks up towards sunset. He has an encounter with a nice four year old buck he calls “Chocolate Rack” just before camera light ends!
