Saw this one right after I shot mine. He was the one I was after. Chased a couple of does for about 20 minutes all around me.

Nice one.  Awesome rack.  Which buck do you think was dominant between the two?  Usually, the dominant buck is the last to enter the clearing.  Was that big forkie bigger than your stud buck?

No question the big wide one was the boss. He was much larger body wise than mine. He was actually a 2x3 with eyeguards. Just a stud. I'm guessing 22 - 23" wide? Huge buck deer. I saw 2 others to and he was running them all off.

I kind of figured that.  I think body size trumps the size of antlers in the war of dominance.

The area I'm hunting is a super thick area with alders along a creek and Doug fir. I just sneak in sit and wait.
