My morning (short video)

BRONZ · October 24, 2011, 02:12:00 PM

Got out this morning and saw 20 deer; all within range!-- most from the stand this season. Unfortunately, nothing was what I was looking for. When I left in the vehicle, two giants jumped out of a scrubby draw near a pasture. Both were 3 inches outside their ears, 12" G2's, with shoulders wider than their hips! Their smaller friend, a 130-class with tines that almost touched above his head, was not far behind.

I rattled in the two in the video 5 times! Not on purpose. I was hoping they had wandered off far enough that they wouldn't return...no such luck. This was the 3rd time they came back to horns:

Cool. What is the white animal across the field?

KentuckyTJ · October 24, 2011, 02:56:00 PM

Wow, is that an albino or piebald? Too cool.

I like your setup. It looked like the deer went completely around you. You must have had some incredible wind conditions.

That albino or piebald is cool! Was that your first sighting of that deer?

It's a nice healthy coyote. They let him get to within twenty yards and then they all three circled like a group of cage fighters. Was hoping to get one into the yote, but he disappeared.
Wind was almost dead calm. Those two did loops around me all morning.

Nice video. I guess you were waiting on one of those big Kansas bucks? I would too if I live up there. Good luck!

Ranger75 · October 26, 2011, 09:50:00 PM

Very cool.

I try to hold to a 3 y/o, 120" minimum before I'll draw back. 2 y/o bucks get a free pass to grow. Last year I fell victim to ground shrinkage-- 111" 8 pt. I'm not obsessed with huge antlers, I just like the challenge of shooting mature deer-- buck or doe.
