close call this morning. same spot as last saturday...just a couple trees away.

730ish i look up and theres a buck coming right at me. YES!!! here we GO!!! kinda high yellow rack..HAS to be him...3 on top...should have brow tines..and if its HIM i know he does...almost stood up and drew and made the shot...when i got a GOOD look at the rack and realized that it was a fair bit smaller than the one i seen last week. still if he was legal (4+, 1+" to a side) i decided i was going to take him. he came within 5 yards. munched on acorns 10yds away. the right side was a main beam with a 2-3 inch point on top...but THAT side looked to have a brow tine [:@] the other side had a tiny bump it looked like. i had to let him pass.

most likely related to the buck i seen last week. same rack shape, same brow tine configuration(the point inward it looks like..) and same yellow rack.

honestly dont know that i will head out this afternoon. going to hit 90 degrees. i hate to burn hunting time...but i hate stinkin my areas up dripping sweat.

buddy cant goto camp...got a dr appointment..so i dont know where i will hunt. going to probably hunt some random spots around here. heard of a biggun that got spotted crossing a road a couple times...with any luck hes using one of my rut spots..hes crossing not far from there. im going to hunt that and see what i see. usually save that for the rut..its a small strip of woods above a 50ft cliff/creek and fields on the other side of the woods...holds does but bucks dont usually LIVE in there...with any luck this biggun is...we will find out maybe monday morning...

think i might go dove hunt or groundhog hunt later on this evening...weather looks better mid next week..lookin forward to it!
