Bvas….
Had first ever visual of him on January 17th. Was actually walking into the hidden 3/4 acre forage oats field. The same foodplot that I had just harvested a bobcat days before. The majestic buck was standing at the wood line edge directly facing me from approximately 50 yards. We were in a stand off for approximately five seconds and then he turned made a couple of bounds and was out of sight. The experience should have been most enjoyable however, I tortured myself for several hours thinking that I couldn't have actually seen such an animal. One characteristic that I had somehow interpreted from the nighttime pics was that his rack was dark. In the broad daylight, it was bone white. Just a sighting is a gift that I am pleased to settle for.
