Yesterday I finally had some action. I got in stand a little early at 3pm on a oak ridge near a bottom. At 3:20 I heard the crisp sounds of leaves crunching and I turn and here comes a nice 3-4 year old 8Pt with a broken G2. He was on a mission to walk a straight line. He came to my right rear side of the tree at 10 yards and it would have been impossible for me to get a shot even if I wanted. I just didnt like the broken G2. If I didnt have a good look at this deer, I probably would have tried a little harder for a shot. I love trail cameras since I had pics of this buck the day before. He did finally stop about 50 yards away and make a scrape before moving on.
After he passed I had a 6pt come the same way. This buck was atleast 19inches wide, but thin antlers. Again, if I didnt have a good look, I may have shot this buck also but he just wasnt mature enough. So my saga continues to get something big enough to make my trigger finger move:)
Ive got some new recon on a very nice buck so im moving locations next week for a crack at him for 2-3 days. He should go well in the 170's and is by far the biggest live deer ive seen in Va
here is the broken G2 buck. I think freaknasty got ahold of him the day before. If he makes it, he will be a dandy next year. I may get weak though and pull the trigger next time though LOL. I can fix the broken G2
