Hi New_Water,
Tell your husband congratulations on a nice buck. One that size would make a fantastic first buck for my wife!!!!
Dave,
That's a very nice buck. One like that will be even better next year and with him breeding, you guranteed to have quality bucks on your place.
It's a myth that big bucks are strictly nocternal, they have just learned how to avoid being seen during the day. Sometimes you have to get withing five feet of a buck like that for him to move, they know that if they are in thick brush and don't move, they will never be seen. They have also found areas to move around that they are safe and can avoid contact with humans.
Big deer are very smart and it's what makes hunting them such a challange!!!
Thanks for the picture,
Eddie
