    Driving behind the house last night I spot a HUGE buck but it was too dark for a good pic.

    Fast forward to this evening. I walk to this area at about 1900 with intentions of sitting until the big boy showed himself. I was situated in a fence row that was lined with trees. For a good 45 minutes I am just sitting there waiting for him to step out into the field. My binos are scanning and my camera is ready. Decided to move up a tad to have a bigger field of view and then it happened. I was less than 30 yards from this monster the entire time!!! I guess I made a slight noise or he caught movement (wind was perfect) and he got up and took off. All I could think was mule deer or elk because of his tall antlers. He's on the verge of two feet wide and I don't know how tall. The only pic I could get is when he stopped running out at 150-200 hundred yards away. I'm gonna let the spot cool down for a while and then try to get a better picture. I doubt I will even see this buck come season but the encounter still has my heart pumping as I type this.

    Guys...just imagine how I felt when he stood up 20 or so yards from me. WOW! I deployed a homebrew in the area...I'll also keep doing some drive-bys to get better pics.
