A dedicated hunter has marked a milestone moment in his outdoor journey, ending a months-long pursuit of a buck he had nicknamed “One Eye.” The memorable evening hunt, shared on social media, has quickly drawn attention from fellow outdoor and archery enthusiasts.
The successful harvest took place on November 6th, following nearly 30 sits spent tracking the elusive buck. According to the post, the hunter had spotted “One Eye” seven different times throughout the season but had never been able to get close enough for the perfect bow shot—until now.
“This evening’s hunt will go down as one I will remember for a long time,” he wrote, calling the moment “picture-perfect.” The shot landed at 18 yards, concluding the long chase.
The buck, well-known among the hunting circle for going missing over the past week, made the moment even more meaningful. The hunter explained that the team had hoped to locate him again—and when they finally did, they succeeded on their very first hunt back.
He also expressed gratitude to the friends who supported him throughout the year, writing:
“Thanks to all the boys for the help throughout the year, y’all know who you are!”

Within hours, fellow hunters and fans flooded the post with congratulations, praising the patience, discipline, and skill required for such a pursuit—especially with a bow.
