Walked 2.25 miles. Spotted this one along the creek. Supposed to get 1.5-2" of rain the next couple days. This is why I wanted to hunt this property pretty hard.

Walked less than half mile from this one. Continuing along the creek travel corridors. I was pretty proud to find the next one. It was roughly 30-40yds across the creek. Saw a glint of sun. Walked a few steps. Looked again. Saw nothing. Something told me to go back and look from the first angle. Glad I did. Glassed it and saw what I was fairly certain were tines. Thought it might be a pair or else a really big shed. Got over there to find a matched set. That got me jacked up to walk out the rest of it and the next section.

Not sure how I missed this other than my excitement to find the set. I picked the set and crossed the creek. Finished the south side of creek. Crossed to search north side of the creek and realized this is a scrape where he dropped. Or at least right next to one.

Ended up covering 3.59 miles and glassed a ton of open fields. Came up empty in the open fields and majority of trails I walked. I'm not complaining. This was a great haul for me. Any day you find a matched set is a great day in my eyes.
