There's a 20 point buck standing outside my window not 15' feet away from me! This is the guy I thought was the 14 pointer but he's got 3 more small points near the base on each side that I couldn't see before.
I could jump from my second floor window and land on him.
Pics to come soon!

No B.S.. This guy's a 20 pointer.
He's been eating under the bird feeder now for about 40 minutes. I've taken probably 30 pics so far.
When he leaves I'll upload some of them.

Err. I wouldn't do that. You might get racked up.

Here's a pic and a blown up section of it showing his antlers. Note the small bumps near the first antler near the base.
I've made a few calls to some guys. No one has seen one this big around here.

A couple more then that's it.
I've put some corn about 2' from my window. When he comes back I should be able to get some really good shots.
There were some does about 40 yards away. They weren't coming _near_ this guy!

TAC, two lessons learned from this. First, forget about pipe or stump feeders, just set up a bird feeder in an open field. Second, stand selection is critical, and it seems you had yours in the wrong place. All you had to do was replace the screen in your 2nd floor window with shoot through mesh.
Joking aside, that is one huge buck and will be even bigger next season when you harvest him.
