Rutting Buck on a Mission

[umichjesse]

I was still hunting earlier and a I spotted a doe walking towards me so I froze. She knew something was up but cautiously walked past me. I stayed put hoping a buck would follow. A minute later I heard grunting and spotted this young fellow hot on her trail. I put down my gun and grabbed my camera. This young buck had his blinders on, he could care less that I was standing next to a tree 10 yards away.

Nice shots, Jesse.

Imagine how big that guy's rack will be in three or four years.

I laughed at that too. The squirrel was more afraid of the deer than it was of me. I supose a grunting buck is kind of scary.
