i hunted in bland county on opening day of muzzleloader. Seen 14 deer, 11 of them were bucks and i' m hunting national forest. Was watching a wide 4 pointer down below me. He kept looking back up behind him on the other ridge. He never even took a step for about 15 minutes. He was eating moss off of old blow downs (they must be starving) . I finally seen what he was looking at. There was an 10 pointer working his way up to the head of hollow. He had his nose to the ground the whole time. I seen his rack from the sides and back but never head on. I' d say he scored around 145, i killed a 9 pointer that scored 133 5/8 last year and he was alot bigger than him. Anyways he never offered me shot. At 9:06 a doe came the same way he did and there was two 8 pointers chasing her. They had just went over the ridge when a 6 pointer came up the hollow below me. I let him walk. Then about 10:00 another 8 pointer came down from behind me. He was grunting the whole time but wasn' t chasing a doe. He never offered me a shot either (its thick where i' m at) . Then from 10:20 to 11:30 a decent 7 pointer chased this doe up and down and across the ridge the whole time. She finally left but he stayed. I must have dosed off at about 12:00 or 12:15 and when I woke up the first thing i did was look at my watch. It was 1:26. I looked down the ridge and there was a 10 pointer standing there muzzleling through the leaves. When he ot about 55 yards i squeezed the trigger and he hit the ground. So I must say that has been the best day of hunting in my 16 years.
