Hey guys, just got back from my hunting/family visitingtrip to Maryland. The first morning i found myself on a finger ridge that tapers down to a swampwhere my furthest shot in the woods would be about 50 yards which is a chip shot for my in line muzzleloader. Well, got down at 11 am with no deer sighted so the hunting club that i was hunting with decided to push a swamp on another farm that we are allowed to hunt. So out came the shotgun and slugs for trying to nail a deer running out of the woods. A few minutes into the drive out pops a few does that run across the ponds in the fields and a few guys miss them. Well one of the does run into the woods so we think she is probably gonna try to sneak back through the drivers but low and behold she comes back out and what comes with her? Why a massive 12 point with tons of kickers andinsane mass and spread, I would say he would easily go 190-200 inches

. But unfortunatley for me, I was about 300 yards away so all i could do was watch him with the binos

. No one ever hit him so he is still in that swamp somewhere. lol, after the drivers got through the woods, me and the other guy down by a couple points of trees that comes out of the woods tell the drivers to sit tight and we will push them points where we know there is atleast one deer. Well i am heading down a ridge of thick brush when i jump a spike so close i honestly could have smacked it in the back of the head with the gun barrel[8D]. I passed up the spike though because i wanted something big and old with lots of antler

. That was the last deer jumped in the drive so everyone went to their stands for the evening hunt. I found myslef in the same stand as that morning and wasnt seeing anything but squirrels. Just before dark i brought my gun up to look through the scope to scan my shooting lane going down the ridge and there it as, what i asw after. A big 10 point with 11-12 inch g-2's, 8-9 inch g-3's, 5-6 inch g-4's,and 4-5 inch brows and a 18-19 unch spread

. Unforetunatley for me all i could see was his snow white rack and couldnt see his head good enough and i wasnt about to make a bad shot at this buck or miss him and make him go completely nocturnal so he got to walk[&o]on a brighter note, the guy i was hunting with ended up getting a small spike that he thought was a doe that he shot at 5 pm. So, i have a date with one of them bucks either after christmas or before then if i get the time.
