I was hunting some if Timex's ground in Illinois today.
This morning I saw and passed three 130ish bucks.
One was quite wide and if he did have those 5 inch G2s he would have rode home with me.
This evening I saw two 130ish 8 pointers and four or five yearling bucks and ONE huge ten pointer which I promptly missed. WAHHHHH! He was probably the biggest buck I have seen in the wild for quite a few years. Probably push 160 easy.
A wild looking 5 pointer with a very high rack came through pretty fast and I was glassing him to see his rack... no intention of shooting him when all of a sudden a doe and the ten came charging out into the CRP field. They came out at 50 yards and by the time I stood up, got the binos down, the gun up, and then had to squat back down to shoot under a limb they were 75 and moving fast. Not running mind you, but picking them up and putting them down.
I swung to get on him and just flat ... MISSED.
The last I seen of them was exiting the field on the far side - 440 yards.
Woodmaster got an 8 pointer and a friend of his bagged a 148" twelve pointer.
Tomorrow is another day...

You sure Woodmaster didn't tinker with your scope? LOL
