The rut is in full swing.
@80 yards for more than half an hour.
My friend is a little bummed he could not close the deal.

Wow, his neck looks like it's about to explode. Is your friend bowhunting or just couldn't get the rifle shot?
 
Could not get the proper shot with the rifle. Small properties in the area.

Perhaps some rattling will pull him back in.

If he didn't spook he may just come back again on his own, hope it works out, very nice deer.
 
Just the kind of buck to get us excited. He was calm. Day off today and perhaps tomorrow. :A Praying:
 
Whitetails were running around like rats yesterday.

My close call was on three bull Elk at the end of legal light. 10 days to go.
 
Great buck. Wish him luck.
 
He'd look good on the wall!
 
Man that's a nice Buck ! I need to come hunt with you!
 
Wow, hope you guys can get back on him!
 
Holy f#$@!!! What a buck! Good luck getting him!!!
 
I like the way his main beams curve like that, his a cracker stag, bricko
hope your mate gets his chance
he would be a weapon in the white tail boxing ring with that shape and them long tines
 
Dandy buck. I hope he is able to get him. Personally I'd take that shot given a decent rest. Hope he gets a better opportunity that he takes. Great opportunity. Best of luck. Bruce
 
Thanks for the good wishes guys. I hope we can find him in an approachable spot. Or his big brother. :)

I'll let you know.
 
Good luck - his main beams look like they have really good mass. I can't wait to see a picture of him with the happy hunter!
 
Oh man that is a bruiser! Let us know once he's on the ground.
 
Got to 102 yards today and the little girl had me. I forgot to put my $%^&*( phone on silent and I got :A Callme:

:A Bonk::A Bang Head:

I backed away and let them be for another day.
