Just saw him cut the back edge of one of our plots with a couple does. Hope I see him again…..up close
I'm home. Although I didn't get any shots, it was one of the coolest hunts I've ever had! I threw out some grunts. About 5 minutes later, I hear something trotting my way. It's to my left, and it's at the perfect time where the sun is directly in my face looking towards the movement. The deer finally gets behind me, and I see that it's a mature buck with both G2's broken off. I think he came to my grunts originally but changed plans, and he was on a new mission. Unbeknownst to me, there was another mature thick 8 point straight behind me about 200 yards out. He saw him and bristled right up and took off that way. They meet in the far corner of the picked corn field and the broken G2 buck starts making scrapes everywhere. The other 8 goes into some thicker stuff and watches the broken one so his thing. They get about 10 yards apart but never do anything. This goes on for about 20 minutes. Eventually a forkie goes to check it out and gets about 30 yards from the broken buck and thinks better and runs off. That must have set off the broken one because it was then war between the broken buck and the other 8. They proceeded to go at it across the entire end of that corn field for more than 15 minutes. I'm thinking the broken buck runs things because he started the fight and also ended it even though his rack was smaller. I took some video with my cell phone for evidence. It was legit the coolest thing I've seen. These 2 had bodies of tanks and they showed it. Looks like I'm putting up a stand or blind and using a decoy the next couple hunts!

Firearm opened here today. Got a pic of big boy near property line and those neighbors hunt right on the line and they were blasting. Hopefully he survived the gauntlet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Back on stand again this morning. There calling for rain all day today, so I’m in a blind I have on scaffolding. Chasing and grunting before daylight. I hope they come back around after daylight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Good luck dmax. I leave this Tuesday. I should be able to drop a doe this week. We are still in this. I know my first buck was a small one so I don’t have much room to talk. A couple bucks over 100 inches would put us right back in the thick of things. Good luck you guys
If I can dodge the rain, I'll be out this afternoon. Sent from my SM-S908U using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Back out for the afternoon. 9/10” of rain so far today. It has slowed down so I’m hoping they will get up and move around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
2 does about 150-ish yards and coming my way when a trespassing guy on a 4 wheeler drive all around me scaring everything around. Then, I had a 6 point come to 10 yards right before the end of shooting time. Trespasser was caught, and it shouldn't happen again! Sent from my SM-S908U using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
