A missed shot at a good buck I had history on resulted in a 2nd opportunity but unfortunately a wounded animal I couldn’t recover.

Spring 2021 Update
“The Mastery of Mierzejewski Taxidermy” gifted our Junior Derby winner Chris Fortese with his original entry fish authentically placed within a seasonal mount setting that is envy by all but only duplicated by few.
Aged at 6.5 years of evasive “Public Land” life, which theoretically equates into 52 years of human existence, once again proves to me that out living an “Old Buck” by the numbers, within our respective limits of morality and in a place of absolute fair chase renders not only the highest level of accomplishment but continual desire.

My first doe ever! Cost me $9000 in damages!
Fall 2020 Update
200 lbs. field dressed Adirondack Buck, my 46th. Hiked up 900 feet in elevation, miles into the mountains, 2.5 hour one way trek, sweated, hunted, and slept in the same clothes in the back of my truck for three days. This buck cruised downwind scent checking for a hot doe in a prime bedding area we both knew well….I was just 30 yards deeper downwind then him.
