Saw the top of this dudes head bedded down on the property next to me. Moved in closer to get a better look and some pictures. I got pretty close before he spotted me. I figured (correctly) he was paying attention to a doe. Spotted her when she turned her head once he stood up. She stayed put and he Stomped off to the other side of the thicket.

Off to my right I spotted another set of headgear, a fork horn that stood up when the big guy left. Then saw a spike just beyond him.

I don't have permission to hunt there... figured some pictures would be OK. A neighbor that did have permission put him on the meat pole this morning...
