NEVER saw that many big bucks in a year much less ONE sighting!

was in my stand bright and early today. 7 am 2 does come in down wind, closed to with in 35 yards and winded me, slowly trotted off. little while later watched a coyote mouse for while, young dog, lip squeaked him in to about 25 yards only to sit, figure something was wrong and double back. about 8:30 I look in the field behind me and see a LOAD of deer enter the field, as they come in to view I watch 3 does trot across and behind me, then my jaw dropped!!!!! 3 BIG BIG racked bucks ( 8 or better) followed suit and trailing was a big 6 I have been watching followed by a couple more does. I have NEVER saw 4 bucks that big in 1 year in my life much less marching across a field!!! I was flabbergasted to say the least!!!! I am hunting 25 acres that I have sole permission to hunt, only stipulation s landowner does not want fire arm of any sort, bow only and that's fine with me. man I am so very close but I choose plan A and it seems the deer choose plan B ! really didn't think the bucks would still be in a bachelor group this time of year? well off to put a 3 stand up in the same field....

Ken, that's the same dream I have after I eat my super hot venison chili and fall asleep in my stand.

Saw eight bucks alone in a group on October 20th one year. Forget what you have heard or read. Weird things happen.

Game of Chess...sometimes the board changes totally and new game each outing...exciting and stimulating!

Good luck, Ken!

adkmountainken · October 16, 2016, 08:37:00 PM

Doc Nock · October 16, 2016, 09:16:00 PM

What a treat to have those images, but ...if I may say so, promises kept to good friends mean more then any big buck...

Good things come to he who waits!

That is an awesome sight, for sure. I have seen this once, when 7 buck walked in line right past my ground blind. 2 spikes, 2 forkhorns, 1 small tight, with 2 massive bruisers following behind. It looked like a circus parade at about 12 yards. I shot that small sapling with a center shot that Robin Hood would have had trouble duplicating. This will keep you coming back again and again. Don't you just love it?

I had a night the last day of the season 2 years ago like that. 10 minutes before end of legal shooting light, I see a deer walk out of the woods about 80 yards away. Getting my binoculars on it, I see it's a buck, Oh it's a nice buck , wait, there's another one, oh my a third one.
A total of 5 bucks walked out there and the smallest was a 2 1/2 yr old 8 pointer. I was simply floored. Thanked the Lord for allowing me the sight and the fact that they all made it thru the season

Opening weekend, I had quite a few come by me. One was about a 140, I didn't shoot. i saw a real big boy come out of the corn and go back into the corn. Considering that I have not seen a buck since and the number of hunters out there, maybe I should have taken a shot at the 140.

Season aint over yet.....its just beginning.
We wont ever shoot 170" bucks if we dont pass up some 140" and 150" bucks....

I hope you get a chance at one of them!

Good luck!
