azcouesandelk Report post Posted August 27, 2007 Well I went up Thursday night for the weekend to scout and hunt and do some volunteer work. Driving in thursday night I saw a couple of decent bucks run across the road then an absolute monster ran across. First impression was a 180 class buck! I wake up Friday morning and go to an area where I always find deer. I setup to glass and instantly find some does and fawns. Glass for about an hour and find 5 bucks feeding up on a distant hill. Out of the 5 bucks 2 were 4 points and the rest were small forks. After reviewing the area I realize that the bucks are on private property. Glass til about 10 and decide to head back to camp and hang out. Saw a total of 23 deer in the morning. Went back out that afternoon and glassed up a spike and doe but decided to not even stalk them. So day 1 was over with 25 deer seen and 6 being bucks. Saturday I woke up at 7 and head up to the AES water project. Was able to meet up with some familiar faces and was able to meet some new ones. This morning I was up and ready to go well before first light. While driving to an area I see 3 sets of eyes. Come to find out that it was 3 bedded bucks. Parked the truck and waited for light. While waiting for light the bucks got up and walked away but 3 more bucks walk by while it is to dark to see the pins still. Watch where they go and start to trail them. While walking behind them I find a shed to the big buck I saw Thursday night. While following the bucks I see them in a field about 150 yards away and there are 8 of them now and the big buck is with them. He is bigger than I thought now. I start to belly crawl to try to close the distance and they are spooked by a buddy on the other side of the field. So they stalk was done and the bucks went up the hill and I did not want to push them anymore. So that is my first weekend of the hunt so far and I plan to have him on the ground this next week Here is the As It Lay pic and several others. The shed scores right at 76 1/2 and with a matching side and a 27 inch spread he would be a 180 buck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
