I hunted a new area this year and I hunted it hard. It is the four point area, it whas a new experience. You wouldn't think so but when you see 15 or so 20 plus inch three's you end up doing a lot of stalking and glassing even though you know they're a good buck. The first buck we came across was about 2,000 yrd,s away, it looked good but couldn't tell points, so we snuck in. We got about 90 yrds away and just getting into sight when a bull elk burned over the hill and nearly stepped on the deer. the deer spooked into a close grove of maples, so me and one brother went into good shooting position, while the other watched to make sure he didn't sneek out on us. We was all set up when he came out but still couldn't tell points, he skylined and I'm guessing 6 plus points on each side, to late he was gone. We had a chance at a 30 inch but you would think we was muzzloader hunting he was about 350 yrds and we tried stalking in the fog, no good. After a few more days I finally ran into this buck, he's a five by five 23 wide 23 high.
