    Sat this morning and all that I had come in was a woodchuck which was tempting I can't lie. But the Temps are rising and not much moving right now. [​IMG][​IMG]

    Take a look at the body size on this buck. He quickly earned the nickname "moose". Here's a size comparison with some doe that are standing in almost the same spot a minute earlier. He is what they were all looking back and And said "peace out" lol. The buck is actually about 5 feet further back so he should appear a little smaller haha

    Then him through the spotting scope last night where are could make out his head hear a little better. [​IMG][​IMG]

    I only hunted the first half of the day yesterday until I started to hear lighting. Next weekend, I'm going to a new spot that I'm hoping is untouched. Also found out that I may be able to go hunt a small 100 acre area that hasntnt been hunted in years. If all things go smooth, this will be a new yearly spot for me that I'll be able to plant plants on in the future.

    OKSooner. How'd you like that game yesterday?

    I’d say low to mid 130s. Definitely a nice deer.
