The only buck I've seen thus far.....
Was standing in mom's driveway when I pulled in this morning at 5:30.......dad gummit, I can't catch a break...I've seen that buck before.....I really believe he's the 6 point I let walk last year....He's an 8 this year, and around 100-110 inches.....Really pretty buck. Tall and wide. G2's around 9, and about 19 inches inside spread....
So I head up the driveway and park. Get out real quiet like, spray down, and head the long way around. That buck was actually standing in the cut corn, about 5 feet from the driveway, so I don't want to run him off. Got settled in my stand, and he walked right behind me, but it was WAY to dark to shoot. Hell, I could barely see him.
So that's the second good buck I've seen in that corn field.......Guess maybe I'm in the right spot afterall........I know I need to fine tune some things, but man......A little luck now and again sure wouldn't hurt anything....
EDIT: Oh, and ......I could have shot another one of...THOSE deer too.......

I was serious though...thats what I'm waiting for. It's definitely easier when the rut comes than trying to pattern those guys early October. I've been working on finding that "dandy" buck I spotted a couple months ago. Haven't seen him since but I know he's out there. I'll just be glad when his nose starts getting attracted to the ground more.
