Thanks guys. The antlers are at my Dad's, he took it home to butcher it because we had a halloween party going on at our house that night. That would have been a site in the garage. haha. Should have a score this weekend.

Had my first buck,up close, this year, this morning!! The ground is all tore up on this ridge I've been hunting, so I brought the Tinks with me this morning! Just at shooting light I blew a half dozen doe bleats, about 5 minutes later I here the familiar crunch of leaves behind me! I turn around to see a decent half rack! He had 4 points on the one side, and the other was broke off right at the skull!! The g2 was about 8 inches long, and he was just about even with his ear. He came right in down wind of me and at about 15 yds he winded me. He blew and turned and bounded a couple times and stopped perfectly broadside at 20 yds! Head behind a tree and everything! He sat there and studied the terrain for about 3 minutes, then he circled me never getting more than about 30 yds! He walked right over and took a big whiff of my scent wick loaded with Tinks!! He was within 30 yds for about 15 minutes. He just stood thereby my scent wick looking around trying to find the doe! He finally gave up and slowly walked away!
Had he had both sides of his rack I would have taken him for sure!!

I've been hunting as much as possible lately and the action is starting to pickup! Today i saw 7 different bucks and to top it off the biggest was a beautiful white racked 10 point that is pushing 160. Came out of nowhere and wondered all over, just not close enough to my stand.[:@] 62 yards was the closest i ranged him. I have no trail cam pics of this deer and none of the neighbors have mentioned anything so shhhhhhhhhh! I am not gona be able to sleep untl i see him again. lol

It's offical!!!!!
The best time to be in the woods is at the same time as the gun hunters. Saturday was the best and worst hunting day of my life. The full story would take up about five pages on the forum. I'll give you guys the short version. Bad news first, I missed a 160" to 170" buck "absolute pig". Good news,I shot a massive 10pt. should score around 140. Also closed the deal with a high 120" 9pt. My uncleearlier took a 120" 8pt. WALL HANGERS EVERYWHERE! In the woods only 4 hours seen 7 bigboys.
Good luck to the team
