Last evening, I saw the biggest buck I personally have ever seen in the wild. I saw 2 doe come in really nervously. They finally got antsy and ran off. I thought, uh oh, what's going on. Then I saw what was making them so nervous. This big boy came in chasing them. He had at least 8 points that I could count, and the rack stuck out at least 3-4" past his ears. That puts him at about 20-22" spread, right? Anyhow, that may not be a thrill to you midwesterners, but to this newbie west TN'er, that was a thrill. I knew I should have set up where I saw him because that was where I had seen the big tracks before. I was set up over 3 criss-crossing trails because it was closer to the truck and I was running a little late and didn't want to spook anything in the area. I'm elated and planning on going back this evening.

The most important bloodtrail leads right to the foot of the cross

Well I am from the midwest and it sounds like an impressive deer. Huge 8 pointers give me the goosebumps just seeing them.
