I ended up getting into Texas a day before my work conference started.
The WMA I hunt in Oklahoma is only a few hours away so I decided to blitz out for a day trip, to hang cams, built some blinds, and scout my honey holes.
I spent the morning glassing an creek bed that I knew got active during the pre-rut and rut.
I saw a doe, a spike, a very pretty fork horn mule deer at 72 yards and then the second biggest whitetail I've ever seen alive in person.....at 80 yards away. Ahhhhh
I had a couple minutes where I was able to watch this monster in my binos and I FIRMLY believe he was a 150+" 8 pointer.....
Im not a trophy hunter by any means, but I just wanted to say his score to give everyone an idea of how big this guy was.
He was one of the nicest looking deer I've ever seen. He had dark chocolate tines with ivory white tips. Ahhhh that buck will haunt my dreams until I get back out there.
I'm very familiar with the area this buck was in and now that I knew there was a mature buck in the area I checked some other spots that surrounded this area. I checked them because I had focused on this area hard in 2014 when I was chasing a very mature buck (who happens to be the biggest deer I've ever seen in person and now hangs on my wall)
Well.... he's in the same areas as my other buck was.
I'll have time against me because I haven't been able to scout this place all year like I use to when I lived in NM, but I will give it my all. My buddy did hang a camera for me in one of my honey holes before I got out and I've got lots of activity....
