Every year Lucas and a handful of friends get together to hunt North Dakotas archery opener. This year he already had a couple big bucks already located, but with several other hunters scouting and running trail cameras in the woods the weeks before the season started, the pressure took its toll. But, Lucas and another buddy put in the work and relocated one of the bucks. They both went in to the area where they believed the buck was living, Lucas went one wa, his buddy went the other, and buck showed up... at his friends location.
