Couple more big bucks get to live

[Fjold]

I was out with my daughter again and passed on Mr Big and his little brother. I'm trying to get my daughter her first buck. We swapped blinds from the last two hunts and of course, the big boys came out in front of the blind I was in.

Forgive the photo quality it was pre-dawn (legal shooting light) and I had to zoom and lighten up the photos to get the bucks to show. These two guys were 34 yards from my blind.

Here's a good picture of the big 8 that I've passed on twice.

Here's the smaller 8 point buck with my house in the background


A 9 point that's been fighting, he's busted off his left brow tine and broke the tip off his right G2.

I hope your daughter gets one of them. That would be a heckuva first buck. But if she doesn't, that just means next year she might have 5x5's to choose from. Unless your neighbors get them first.

My daughter has to have the worst luck. I didn't go with her this morning since the wind direction was such that the only blind that we could use was the one that had the most buck traffic.

So, what happens? Two younger but decent bucks show up at 9AM, 20 yards in front of the blind that she couldn't use.
