Second morning of the hunt I am sitting little further down the ridge from the first morning hunt. My friend text me this pic and said “passed him did I mess up?” My answer....”Yeah!! Since we were one ridge apart I was hoping the buck would come by me. Around 9:14 I text him to see if it was slow movement over there. Then there was unmistakable sound of a deer walking. There was a 120” 10 pt and 30 yds walking straight to me with another deer behind him. Then I saw the second deer was a bigger buck. The smaller buck passes by me at 10 yds. I look at the bigger buck and see 10 good points, good mass and big body so I’m shooting him. Big bucks turns to the right and is broadside at 15yds and I shot him where the yellow X is. Shot looks good right behind the shoulder and he runs off down the ridge. I text my friend at 9:16 and say “I’m done”

The next mornings hunt he saw more bucks. He videod an 8pt breed a doe, had a real big buck run a doe across the ridge and saw the big 9pt again but still no shots. At one time he could see four different bucks on the ridge. Rut is on !!! That afternoon he was going to sit where we got the huge bucks pic the weekend we were driving up. There was a lot of daytime buck pics in this spot right on the edge of the corn field. I was going to sit a stand on a hayfield where we had good pics and hopefully shoot a doe and scout any bucks for for him We we get to the corn field the Landowner has started cutting the corn. We know that the tractors won’t bother the deer but he decided to go sit the hay field with me since there was two stands there. Here is the hayfield from my stand. His stand is straight across from me on the fence with hay on the left and a thicker grown up field on his right. He is in the stand I was going to hunt had he went to the corn field. Instead I get in a ladder stand by the road.

Sounds like a great trip and hunting! Cool photos. Those big bucks are big due to age, food and genes, mostly the first two. Great bucks y'all stuck!

Jeff. do you have any idea of the weight of your deer? When I saw the first pic,I said "Jeff done shot someones horse" It was so big the rack looked small on the ground. Fine buck sir.
