The big buck stood there motionless scanning the field for his hopeful doe which took about 5 minutes. Unfortantely the wind was blowing west to east and he was following his nose by entering the field from the east side. You know what that means...... Big Boy makes his move. He begins entering my field toward my food plot and my ground blind. The button buck and 7 point then get nervous and dash away. As I watch this buck get closer I begin to get the shakes. I prayed all day Saturday to my neice that she could bless me with a big buck (Oct 27th was our 3 year anniversary of losing my neice). I thanked her and God for having this big buck enter my life this day. I looked up and the buck was now at 75 yards away, getting closer. Just then he stopped walking toward me and threw his nose into the air and checked the wind (scent check). I was smoked up inside the blind and I had Evercalm out behind my blind. He stood motionless at 75 yards for about 2 minutes accessing the situation discovering something he didn't like. At a moments notice he turned and bound away. I believe this is the same buck I saw last year at a 130 class. I had two encounters with him last year and my buddy Ron saw him once as well. He certainly blew up this year. I'm thankful I got to see him and hope we can meet again another day.
Dinner at Deer Camp this evening was: Grilled venison backstrap, sweet potato topped with butter and brown sugar, salad, Texas toast, and a few cold yuenglings.
