Got in my stand last Sunday morning and it felt like a good morning. By 7:30 I saw 9 deer. A little 5 pointer and a smaller that I passed up and the rest does and fawns. Got out of my stand around 9 am to go check my camera which is like 25 yards from my stand.

I was at the camera and I heard something off to my left. I look and it's the big 11 I have got on camera. He was about 50 yards away when he trotted off. If I only would of stayed in my stand 10 more mintues I would have got him . He was angling right towards me. I was so mad but yet I was happy because I finally got to see the first shooter of the year.

Hunted Sunday night he might come back out but he never did. Had the same 8 pointer come through, a nice two and half year old nine pointer that I passed, and another shooter buck in the field that didn't come close enough. Was an exciting weekend.

Took off work this Friday to hunt this bad boy and hopefully he shows up again while I am in my stand this time.

Here's the pic I got of him:
