VIDEO: The Camp 6 Buck | Hal Blood's Stories From The Trail

Hal Blood tells the story of his Camp Six Buck, a big Ontario whitetail he tracked down on less than half an inch of snow. Back in 2011 Maine never got snow all deer season, so Hal and Kev headed to Michigan’s UP for the muzzleloader hunt, then kept going north to Ontario when they heard there was enough snow to track. Hal found a bigger track than most in an old cut, jumped the buck out of the cedars, had a fire and a sandwich, and then took up the track again until the buck turned back up a little hill to bed down. He snuck up to the top, saw the empty bed, and caught the buck walking out through the whips at about 50 yards. It turned out to be a dark-racked eight pointer, skinny from the rut but a beautiful old buck, and they named him after the lumber camp they were trying to reach.
