Here it is when we were getting ready to skin and hang it. Smelled good so even if he was rutting he should be ok.

The hunt... Man I never saw anything like it. There were maybe 15 or so deer running around chasing each other for over 5 minutes. Big ones chasing each other and the little ones. Extremely aggressive. I'd try to scope for a buck but they made it impossible. It was like a deer riot. I know how crazy that sounds.

Anyway they scattered and I didn't know what to think. Took a leak and got a cup of coffee down and then this guy showed up.

My brother thinks this guy and another buck were probably fighting over a doe. And in the confusion the other deer got scared and started fighting. I don't know... Sounds better than anything I can think up.

I'll never forget what I saw though. What a hunt.
