Well I went out Friday and had a great half day. At day break I caught movement to my right which I thought was a good sized doe. It turned out to be a young buck. As he was working his way slowly toward me, I seen movement in behind him. I looked closer and saw a real nice buck. As he cleared the thicket, the bigger he got. My guess was 125-130 10 point and looked as though he would have dressed at 180lbs. He was trailing the 4 point the whole way out. As he cleared the thicket, I saw another buck in the background. I only saw 2 tines but each one was at least 10 -12 inches. He never came up out of the thicket. It took the two buck 25 minutes to come 30 yards. The little buck feed into a clearing about 12 yards away. Every time he would stop to feed, his head would be facing me. The 10 point was still hanging in the tree line. He was about one step from clearing the tree line and giving me a shot as the 4 point was about 1 step from going behind a big tree to give me a chance to pull back. Just then two more buck came hauling butt down the hill pulling these two with them. Maybe twenty more seconds and I would have had my buck. I guess thats why they call it hunting and not killing.
