Default Nice FL Buck!

My brother has helped me out a lot this year setting up some stands and putting feeders up. I let him sit at one of my spots I rarely go to because it's just far lol. Which is a good thing and I know what is in the area. I checked the camera after a couple weeks and seen the nicer bucks and just more buck activity coming thru. So at 5pm a doe came out. Then more came about 5 minutes later. A spike sneaked in at 510. Then all the does were acting weird. The spike then had its attention on something as well. The does all left. At 515 the nice 8pt I have been waiting to see since July(first pictures). He had nose to ground. I'm assuming the yearlings are now in heat because the main rut here was last week in August. Then there was another little secondary rut last few days of bow into the first week muzzleloader. I'm not sure what's going on in my section of Florida but it seems these deer just breed from August- November. Anyway, he ran off the spike and started trailing I'm assuming. He was definitely not worried about anything. He stopped broadside and my brother took the shot right near 100 yards. He dropped! This is one of the nicer deer I've seen in the club, at least at my spots. It's a beautiful symmetric 8. I'm pretty stoked, even though I didn't have a chance at him, but there's a couple more that are on the hit list.
