Encounter with the big 6 (story) - 11/15/15 04:21 AM
I have a lot of pics of this buck over the last 3 yrs but none to upload from this IPad. The biggest six point I've ever seen. Wanted to kill him to get him out of the gene pool but never saw him until today, 3 yrs later. He came out into an oat field with a doe and I knew it was him immediately. He's not a six now but a 5 pt, lots of mass and tall too. His face is nearly entirely white (grey), his body is twice the size of the doe he was with and he wasn't getting around very good. Not limping, just kinda slow. I watched him for an hour and thought about all the pics I had of him and how he had bested me for three years and just decided to let him go. I know it wasn't the smart thing to do, I could have killed him easily but I just didn't want to. I left my stand well after dark and through the binoculars all I could see was his white face. I didn't kill anything this evening but I will remember it as one of my best hunts...........just sayin'.
