Saw 12 this morning between 7am and 8am. Nothing since. Lot of does and their little ones and 2 bucks. One buck was decent 8 point, but prob only 2.5 yrs old. Other buck was bigger and older, but rack was weird. He had good mass and was really tall, but looked like the ends crossed and inside spread couldnt have been more than 8-9 inches. I prob should have shot him when I had the chance, as he had a large body, but the oddness of that rack made me hesitate too long.
 
He went just outside of sight distance and dropped. I knew the way he was running he wasn't going far. I was texting my wife trying to figure our plans this evening. I heard the crows that were in the food plot fly off and looked up and there he was. I let him work his way in, he got about 20 yards away and stood perfectly broadside. I had him on trail camera Friday morning freshening up a scrape. Part of me wishes I hadn't shot him, little bit of ground shrinkage but still a good one. This is only buck number 6 ever for me. His right brow tine is broken already it still has some cedar in it from rubbing trees.
