Mature bucks...

I believe 5 is the answer for me. With 1 falling to my bow.. and the only one I shot at. But that's not the whole story.

1 nice 3.5 I had walk behind me at 12 yards in Wisc.. unfortunately I had to let him walk as I had no buck tag (earn-a-buck zone).
1 nice 3.5+ slipped by us while I was filming Justin in Pike county, Ill. About 70 yards from Justin, who was the hunter.
1 nice 3.5+ who showed up late into a field and got within 60 yards.. then I spooked him.. but it was too dark to shoot anyway.
1 BIG 4.5+ buck who passed at 20 yards, it was just to dark too shoot!
1 Beauty of a 5.5 yr. old who will soon grace my wall.. but until then is gracing my tummy!

That's it 1/5... the one who finally showed up early enough to shoot at.
