Random thought...

The other day I was sitting in the deer blind. It was a little chilly out side, I was waiting for the sun to come up. I could hear the crunching sound of deer eating the corn provided for them to eat. I prefer my corn steamed. As it just started to get light I saw a deer jump over the fence into my field of view. Big bucks always come from that direction so I got really excited. I could not tell if it was a buck or not but it spooked the does that were there eating. They hung around as it made it's way over to a scrape. With the orange and blue sunrise behind him I could see he had some antlers but I could not yet tell how big he was. The area I am hunting has a regulation of 13 inches or bigger or a spike. Regardless, this was the first one I had seen since opening day when my bro in law Jake shot his, it's on their blog, a nice 8 pointer. As it got lighter I pointed my rifle at him to look through my scope, a 4 point, dang! About an 8-10 inch spread. I watched him for maybe an hour and a half or two and checked to see if he was big enough a couple more times as it got lighter. He eventually left and I saw nothing else. I have seen nothing but does since.
