How I Killed This Buck in a Sea of Oaks (Finding the Right Oak) | Mountain Buck Scouting Series

I had one trail cam photo of this buck in a month of cameras running. One. Meanwhile, 400 yards away in the main oak flat, I had nighttime photos of the same deer on repeat. That one daytime photo on the edge of the bedding cover, in a spot with no treestands and no clear path in, meant everything. This is the full breakdown of how I killed a Pennsylvania buck on October 15th — how I found the one actively dropping oak in a sea of red oaks, why I changed my access route on the fly in the parking lot, and what that decision meant for the outcome.
