That buck has looked the same for the past three years. He's at least 7 1/2 years old maybe 8 1/2.
We were actually making a play on another whopper 3X3 that was heavy, dark antlered and tall with eyeguards and big, deep back forks but no front forks. We bellied our way up on top of a little bare knob to get some elevation. I looked over where we had last seen him and could just see his rack above the trees but his body was'nt in view. I was trying to get her lined up on him when she asked," What about that buck?" I looked right underneath us and there was "Scabby" at only 60 meters, entertaining a hot doe. He was looking right at us, but was more interested in keeping his focus on his girlfriend than us. Kurt was about 20 feet behind us trying to stay low and out of view, wondering why we werent shooting!! He later told us that his heart rate was about 200! She got the crosshair on scabby and crushed him with a well placed shot to the boiler room with my little .308. We had a nice little hunter's celebration before we broke out the camera's.
I'll tell you this, that little lady can shoot!! She killed her cow elk earlier that morning with the same rifle at 455 meters(493 yards). It was snowing and there was some wind to boot! I'm sure that little .308 is going to cost Greenhorn some cash.....laffin!
Really fun day spent with great friends. A red letter day I wont soon forget!!
The rut will make you do and see crazy things.
