( Don't Miss: Iowa Bowhunter Arrows Old, Heavy-Beamed Monarch) He camped out in a patch of timber surrounded by ag fields. Hunting along some flat farm ground, he had to take advantage of the habitat, because topography was nonexistent. A cold front was pushing through, and deer were on their feet. 9 was what Wieging called a “picture-perfect day” for hunting. I believe he added on all his character from the injuries he received during the prior season.” He went from a 10-point to a 21-point freak. Come August 2022, I received my first trail camera picture of him in velvet. He was a main-frame 10-point at that time. “I had an encounter with him during October of the 2021 season. “The first run-in I had with this deer was during the summer of 2021 - the first trail camera picture of him,” Wieging said.



Wieging’s goal? Get a crack at one of his target bucks - one in particular. The Ohio DNR established an early gun season that ran Oct. Ohio deer hunter Alex Wieging found himself in a unique situation this season.
