PIC OF THE WEEK:
This week’s "Pic of the Week" is Patrick Loyer with huge Vermont mountain buck weighing 208.4 pounds; field dressed! The story begins when Patrick drops his wife off at the airport to catch a flight to Texas. She tells Patrick to shoot a big one. Not sure if he was going the next morning, Patrick gets a call from his 13 year old nephew wanting to go out. His nephew had just started bow hunting, so Patrick told him he would pick him up at 5:15. Patrick talked to a co-worker that evening and he tells Patrick he is due for a two hundred pound, 8 point or bigger. A pattern seemed to be establishing! The next morning, Patrick got his nephew settled in and then headed off to his stand. Around 6:30am Patrick heard movement behind him, and a few minutes later a deer came walking down the trail. At first, Patrick couldn’t see what it was, but as the buck got past him he saw that it was legal. Patrick concentrated on the buck's vitals and at 14 yards pulled the trigger on his bow. The buck took off running and Patrick heard crashing about 50 yards away. As Patrick regained his composure he was surprised to get a text from his nephew asking if he shot something. He answered yes, but let's wait a few minutes before trailing him. As he sat there he couldn’t believe his eyes when a spike buck came walking in on the same trail. It was now time to search for his deer. The arrow had good blood, but they were a little concerned by not finding much of a blood trail. The concern was short-lived as they soon came across the buck. Patrick could not believe the size of this magnificent animal. He called his dad, and his nephew went to meet him. In the meantime, Patrick sat in silence and admired his buck. In Patrick’s words, “I sat with the deer and my emotions took over. We lost my mother in-law and my sister not long ago, so I sat there in tears thanking them and the Lord for this blessing.” It was especially emotional because at this time of year Patrick's mother in-law always loved to see what what they would get. Thank you so much Patrick for sharing your spiritual time in God’s great outdoors with us. For sharing your story and photos we’ll be sending you a $10 gift card courtesy of Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel.
