Well, I'm bucked out here in GA. Not the biggest, but their bodies were big. One on Sat at 8:30 AM, and the other one on Sun at 8:20. The first one was a terrible shot, I want to say the buck either moved or I did a terrible job on pulling the trigger, I'll take the blame because it was a quick shot. After about 20 min worth of tracking I found him.
Here is the first one, and he lays where I found him, but propped up for pictures. He came out and was walking from right to left, and stopped just barely enough for me to shoulder my rifle and fire. That is the exit hole.

Here is the second one. He was quartering away from me, and the tree to the left was blocking his vital zone. When I turned, I must have made a noise cause he turned and looked my way. After a long 5 min or so of not moving or breathing (Ok, barely....LOL), he turned to his left and took one step and that is all I need it to see his vitals. One shot and he was down, didn't take a step. He came out 15 min after a small 6 pointer was in the area eating. This is an old buck, and had some good battle scars from fighter his territory or does.

On Mon, my buddy moved to another stand, and I took his stand. He had seen several does in the area, and since I can't take anymore bucks, I figure I take a doe. Well, as luck would have it, no does came out. At about 7:45 a young 6 pointer came out and I watched him do a scrape. About 15 min later a nice 8 pointer (bigger then my second one) came out, and walked all over the field, stopping broadside several times. I text my friend, and told him about the nice buck walking around the field. He was not happy. LOL.
