Thinking he was totally hidden, Sheila spotted him from 325 yards out. A coyote was trotting around in the area that the buck was watching, so Sheila was able to sneak up to 165 yards to shoot – Sheila said he never even knew they were in the area and never got up! Great job Sheila and what a memorable experience. Congrats!
