have a couple. the 2 most memorable was both the same year. 2008.... sitting on stand and a 170 inch 9 point following a doe came and jumped the fence. had never seen him before. 60 yds. watched him for an hour. he chased her over the hill. i waited about 20 mins and climbed down. (already late to leave). slipped over and looked at the scrapes he had made. started up the hill and a doe came running over the hill. i dropped to my knee and got ready. he came over. i ranged him 63 yds. he was walking and angling toward me. closer and closer. i knew when he hit the 40 yd tree it was now or never as he would catch my scent. so i drew. he stopped perfect and i sailed over him. i still do not know what happened for sure i think i lifted my head to watch the arrow. he trotted off i slipped up fast. he standing there at 33 yds. i drew. he started walking. and caught my scent. ran over the hill and crossed the raod. i moved my stand that evening to be within 30 yds off all 3 scrapes he worked. counting on that doe not being quite in yet and coming back the next morning. that evening i watched him chasing her in the feild across the road. next morning right on time here they came. he is at 50 yds and going to pass me at 30. doe is 20 yds in front of him. wham wind swirled. doe caught me. never spooked just turned and went up the hill. i watched them for an hour befor he chased her across the feild. put cam on the scrapes and got a few pics of him but all in the dark. never seen him again.

second one was a giant 12 point. many people had seen him (including several scorers) and said he was at least 200 inchs. i had seen him once the year before. my buddy and i put on a drive during gun season. woods about 150 yds wide. thicket toward the top main road on top and a feild in the bottom. i stayed toward the bottom because my bud had killed his buck that morning(147 inch). i was slippig quitly banking on a big one trying to double back. standing next to a tree i heard a stick snap and was watching hard toward the field edge. i could see my buds orange a little and he was stopped to. i couldnt see any deer so i started to slip along. we got to the end and he said why didnt you shoot him. i said what. he said that giant white 12 was standing on the edge of the field 100 yds from you. i never saw him!!!! we never seen the deer again he disapeared. then this past shed season another bud of mine found what was left of him. he died in a thicket. we do not know if he was shot ofr old age got him.
