Oct 7 opening morning woke up at 5:30 had some coffee left at 6 to scout some more public land, first stalk he wouldn't let us get close enough 2nd stalk something spooked em before we could get close enough and they went into private . Then we went to the area where we scouted the night prior and picked up the same 1 buck has far we could tell , spotted em along the fence line between public and private we watched for a bit then they went over a hill onto public so eased down along private to get the wind in our favor then about 15 minutes later the 2 does that was with him popped back over the hill so we dropped right where we was and then he came over they slowly fed down the hill and I shot him at 250 yards.

Then on the way home we saw a bigger 1 on the road .
