I had to give you one and only one tip that I believe is responsible for more successful mature buck harvests than any other hunting tip out there, it would be this:The best chance of successfully harvesting a mature buck will be\u00a0during your first or second sit\u2026so time it right.This was certainly the case for Allie Butler \u2013 she timed it perfectly and the results speak for themselves!\u00a0 Here\u2019s the story on how she was able to capitalize on a giant Kentucky whitetail this season.As told by the hunter:The date was November 15th and the Kentucky firearm season was in full swing.\u00a0 I was hunting on our farm in Breckinridge County, Kentucky.\u00a0 It was Sunday morning and I had decided to sit up in a cedar tree stand my dad had built that sat along the edge of cut bean field.\u00a0 This was the very first time anybody had sat there\u00a0this year, so I wasn\u2019t sure what kind of action to expect that morning.\u00a0 Regardless, there was one buck named \u201cBooner\u201d that was always in the back of my head.\u00a0\u00a0A trail cam pic of “Booner” from November 5, 2014Booner had been around the farm for several years, but was a bit of a ghost.\u00a0 Aside from finding five of his sheds during previous years, there was relatively little evidence as to where this buck liked to hang out during the season.\u00a0 He finally showed up on trail camera on November 3rd this year,\u00a0a picture that\u00a0stained my memory for the entire season.“Booner’s” sheds from previous years.Throughout the morning there was a flurry of action.\u00a0 A small 6 pointer and several other small bucks were chasing does around the field, but still no signs of any shooter bucks.\u00a0 In total I saw 11 deer before deciding to climb down\u00a0for lunch\u00a0around 10:30.\u00a0 For the afternoon hunt I was deciding between 3 different stands, but decided to go back to the cedar tree because I knew there was a hot doe in the area.The weekend was quickly coming to an end and despite not seeing any shooters yet, I was just happy to be out there.\u00a0 It\u2019s not always about the kill.\u00a0 As these thoughts ran through my mind, a doe came busting out into the field.\u00a0 I knew something had to be chasing her, so I rested my rifle on a limb and got ready for the pursuant.As I peered through the scope at the doe, a giant set of antlers appeared right behind her.\u00a0 The buck was 240 yards out when I steadied my .30-06 and squeezed the trigger.\u00a0 He dropped in his tracks!Allie’s giant buck had 14 points and unofficially gross scored 187.\u00a0I quickly texted my dad who was hunting near me that I had just shot a big buck.\u00a0 After waiting VERY IMPATIENTLY for about 30 minutes I finally saw blaze orange coming towards me.\u00a0 I slowly got down and was shaking with excitement. \u00a0At this time I didn\u2019t know what buck I had shot. \u00a0As we were walking towards the deer, my dad\u00a0said, \u201cHe\u2019s a nice one!\u00a0 I can tell because his head is propped up off the ground!\u201dSoon we were at the deer and he grabbed the head and yelled, \u201cALLIE YOU GOT BOONER!!\u201dI couldn\u2019t believe this because I knew how smart this buck was!\u00a0 It took a minute for it all to\u00a0sink in.\u00a0I was so excited and this was by far one of the happiest days of hunting!"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/community.legendarywhitetails.com\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Legendary
