Good deal glad to hear you got one!!!
I hope they keep this up thru next weekend my fear is lock down for the gun opener.
Yesterday was stelar in the am. I went to the big buck spot and figured I fill a doe tag. Things started out as usual with the 2 fawns, then 5 doe behind me moving thru no shots.
Then 6 pt walks by me at 10 yds. 3 more buck wandering around.
Then I see one of the big guys going thru the thick right past my other stand. 3 minutes later I hear noise and he's under the apple tree to my right,he runs off the fawn and just starts eating apples.He's just a super deer 8pt high,long tines and heavy. He then moves away and 5 minutes later I see the other big shooter come out of the creek thickets. I see him for about 20 seconds and he's into more thick stuff.
5 minutes later I hear noise and deer walks under the apple tree again it's the 1st big 8pt he again eats apples and after a minute or so steps out onto the run and walks right out infront of my stand and passes me in the wide opened at 15 yds!!
I wanted to jump off a bridge at that point,kick myself for not waiting and miss judging the stage of the rut!
He passes by without a clue Im there and heads off looking for a doe I presume.
After that I said screw trying to fill a doe tag and slipped down and out. All this happened before 8:20 am
Glad both buck are still around and great being so close, but was heart wrenching to have him come thru my set up as I planned only to have to watch him walk by, but thats my fault for punching my tag earlier.
Here are some pictures of both buck I saw unfortunately the big 8pt just skirted the camera near my stand but I got him approaching on the other camera though
