Best day ever in the Deer Woods!!

I have spent many years deer hunting, and I have seen alot of cool things.
However, on November 16th, between 1pm and 2pm was my most exciting day. Over the years, I have killed some nice deer and seen some rutting behavior, but this took the cake.
I get to my stand at 1pm. At 1:15, two small bucks were chasing does. Grunting and going crazy. I thought to myself, "This will be a good day." 5 minutes later, I hear the loudest, deepest grunt ever. It sounded like a cow with bad constipation. I look towards the grunting and see a doe. Behind her is a 10 pt monster. He would score in the high 150's easy. He was chasing her for awhile and 55 yards in front of me, she just stopped. Walked a semi-circle and stopped again. Then the monster buck mounted her! Of all my years, I have never seen this before. She walked another semi-circle, stopped and he mounted again. This went on for a few more minutes. She walked away and he obviousily followed. I tried grunting, but NO way a buck would leave a hot doe.
10 minutes later, I hear another grunt. From the same area, another Doe was being chased by another big buck. This one was a nice 9 pointer. Again, he mounted her! Talk about the peak of the rut! Felt like I was at the Playboy mansion or something. A few minutes later, I saw a smaller Buck chasing a doe...and behind the smaller buck was another giant buck.
I have never seen rutting action like this before. What a wonderful day in the deer woods.
This was the best day in the woods without killing a deer.
p.s. Gun Season opened 2 days later in Oklahoma. Needless to say, everythinggot screwed up bigtime. I spent 8 days hunting hard for those 3 big deer and none showed. However, I took a respectable8 pointer. After the gun season, I talked to some landowners and they mentioned that 2 of those big boys are still out there.
I still have2weeks of bowhunting and seen some monster tracks in my neck of the woods. Hopefully,I will get ONE more shot at one of those bucks.
Merry Christmas.
