I didn't get a buck, but I had two shots that I passed up.
I was 75 yards into the oaks off the back corner of a bean field.
A four pointer came up the creek from my right and stopped about 30 yards straight in front of me.
He was acting funny. Not spooked... just different.
While I was checking him out, a six pointer came in from my left.
They both laid their ears back and the hair stood up on their backs.
They came together in a whirl of hooves and horns that lasted about three seconds.
The smaller one tucked tail and retreated while the larger one proudly strutted around in a circle as if to say, "Who's next?"
I probably should have taken the six, but I was holding out for a much bigger one that's been seen in the area.
Besides, I've killed dozens his size. No biggy.
Heading back out at about 2:30.
