Every year for the last 6 years I have been blessed with close encounters of the big buck kind. Although I'm 1 for 6 tonight was this years event. Big 8 point 18" spread with tall tines at 12 yards head on / quartering toward. He had good mass and looked to be around a 3/12 year old deer. I needed him to continue down the trail for a 6 yard shoot. He hung up at 12 yards with a huge dead cedar between us, froze and smelled, looked in my direction for 8 minutes. I just about died of cold -15 degrees. He just turned and trotted away. 30 minutes later a big doe passed in front at 35 yards followed by another 10 minutes later. All in all a great but cold hunt,,Frank

Great action Frank, keep at it, you will get him.

Mamma mia!! Sounds like a great outing despite the outcome. Would he match any of your sheds from earlier this year?

Some time left, and I do think you'll see more like him, if not that, him again!
