    I'm sorry I don't have any pics but I will describe this as best as I can. Been seeing alot of deer but just a very few small bucks so far this year. Today after the morning sit, my son-in-law and I decided to scout out a new area that we hadn't been in before. We had found a place to hang a stand and were walking out when I saw two bucks, a forkie and a spike, standing to our left. They obviously had cuaght our wind as we were walking but were confused because the wind was swirling in all directions. They didn't see us but were standing alert. A third buck, a half rack joined them as they tried to see what they had obviously smelled. They exited the area after a few minutes and I thought it was over with when my son-in-law says; "there's another deer behind the first three." At first I didn't see what he was talking about, then I saw movement. A huge buck, at least twelve points and well out beyond his ears, stepped out of the brush and moved rather quickly to follow the other three. Sure is great to see a bigun for a change. Just too bad I wasn't in my stand with the bow. Guess where I'll be in the morning.

    Blessings.....Pastorjim

    It sounds like the kind of buck that can make sitting all day not so tough.;) Good luck.

    Couldn't be more true about seeing a biggin'. Seeing them on camera is great but I sure would like to start seeing them in person. They can trust me, I will be cordial then I will introduce them to my friends.....Gold Tip and Bloodrunner.
