Wellll....
Bro had a close encounter with a buck with a drop beam yesterday . He wanted me to sit that stand this morn but I talked him into going back for round 2 . I was across the creek bout a quarter mile west.
Had some does and a small buck just after daylight, but none closer than 40 yds.
About 7:50 I glance over left shoulder and holy crap , its the drop beam buck , about the last 9" of his right beam is straight down. Very cool buck!!
He comes off the beanfield into the brush I'm in right where the does exited earlier. Turns my way and marches right toward me.
At 15 yards he is quartering to me too much but will soon be in my good 90* broadside lane.
He goes behind the cover tree and I draw my bow, but he turns left and never comes out.
Goes out in field on other side and I can't interest him with a grunt or two, he just looks and goes on.
Oh well, it was great while it lasted!!
