Well Almost!
I got these two 8 points 37 minutes apart on the 8th. Both really nice bucks and racks. I've been wanting to get "Captain Hook", a nice 8 point stud with hooked main beams. I showed off these 2 bucks to my cousin and hit me up that I should take him 1 day. So yesterday morning I took him and set him up about 100 yards down from my spot. Around 0645 I had a 6 point come out about 20 yards to my left. He had dark deep amber antlers. As he eased on out and across the way, I videoed him hoping cuz would take him but he didn't?
I know, such a nice buck I should have shot him, but I wanted the Captain.
Then about 15 minutes or so later, as luck would have it, Captain Hook came out about 100 yards away and started cutting over. He was about 70 yards when I was readying for the shot, and "BAM" The Captain fell where he stood. Damn I says, my cousin got my Captain and with my rifle. out:
He was excited to say the least, I was a bit bummed out at first but if I'd got him, I'd been "limited out" and wouldn't been able to pursue "Texas", another big rack buck that sports a larger wider rack than the Captain. He did split the deer meat and I got the head (just to do a European skull mount for him), so it's not all bad. :eyebrows:
The Captain is the bottom 2 pics.
