This morning i saw 2 really nice bucks. One was HUGE couldnt rerally tell how big cuz it was 300 yards away but from the size of his body id say it was atleast a 6 1/2 yr old and from what i saw id say it might of scored anywhere from 150-180" By far biggest deer i have seen in my life (in person). I even started to shake a little when i made a loud grunt at him and he stopped and looked at me for about 30 seconds.. Couldnt find a 300 yard pin on my bow tho..lol He came out of nowhere.
Then i got down out of the stand at about 10:30 becuz i really didnt think anything was gonna come by after i shot that doe the other day. ANd while i was walkin to the truck i went down a different trail and spotted a big doe.. well i watched her do her thing and move off, and i eep going down the trail to the truck. Then i looked over and saw another deer and i decided i was gonna try a stalk. SO i started to stalk it and soon realized it was not a doe but a really nice buck, either a 8 or 10 point. probly a 125" buck. I was right behind him about 80 yards away and used the wind to cover my sound.. I followed him for about 60 yards and then he went in a patch of brush overgrown with honeysuckle and he plopped down in his bed. It was pretty cool to see that. At this point im thinking im gonna wait about an hour and let him go to sleep then try to sneak up on him.. But i decided my best chance at killing him is to back out without disturbing him and moe my stand to the area. He has about 5 fresh scrapes close by and im about to head out and sneak in there and see if i can get my stand up in a tree near his scrapes about 120 yards from his bed.If i had to geuss id say he probly just stopped to take a break and is probly back up looking for does as im typing this..Either way I gotta get a stand up in those woods.
