Good evening scouting
Saw 11 bucks with 2 being pretty good ones. The biggest was just too far away to video with any detailbut we will be working on him tomorrow night in a different spot.
The 2nd buckis a great 3.5 year old buck for our area. Wefound his sheds last year and he grossed out at 122 at 2.5 years old. Wish we had many more bucks like him!!!
From what I can tell by seeing him up close,viewing the pictures and by comparing his last year sheds... he should gross 135 - 140 at 3.5 years old. He is a 5x6. Width is his only downfall and that isn't even too bad.He needs one more year but itwould be tough to pass on him. I asked Tylerif he would pass. He wouldn't say and would only smile.The look in his eyes says this buck could be in trouble this fall should he wander too close!!

RE: Good evening scouting
Good looking bucks you got there Tim. That 5x5 is beautiful -looks like he's gonna have some blading at the tips for a little extra character.
I went out spotting on Friday night and saw an absolute hammer of a buck about 1 mile from one of the properties that I hunt. I'd sell a kidney for an opportunity to hunt that buck, but it's wallpapered. Other than that, it was a pretty quiet night - the fields are like a jungle, hardly anything is cut, and it was hotter than hades.

RE: Good evening scouting
Thats a great 10 pt. I was in the same boat as you last year. I had about a 135 3.5yo ten running around that just had the potential to be a giant. We agreed that we would let him go during season.
I am yet to see him (or recognize him) this summer. I may have seen him when i was glassing some fields, but its just too hard to tell. I will definately be keeping an eye out for him though. He should be pushin the 150s i believe.
