a day of bad luck

Well i have found a nice 200" buck. He is a bruiser, i have not been able to get close or find his bed and as a matter of fact i have lost him completely for the last 2 weeks. :>/
So i have been out looking for him and stumbled on to a group of 10 bucks on land that i have permisssion to hunt. (have video but it is grainy and over a mile away in the early dawn. There are five 4 points and five younger bucks. I grabbed my camera and the video camera and headed out to get closer. just as i got to within 200 yards the sun was peaking over the hill right into my eyes and camera. I tried to get a picture and just as it snapped the batteries died. ( i tell you it was not ment to be)
the bigger bucks where right below me and the only bucks i could get a picture was the group of smaller bucks. the picture is of a 28" wide 2x3 that is older and a few smaller bucks with him

I wish i could have gotten better pics but it may all be mute now. the bucks have joined a bigger bunch of bucks not there are 10 massive 4 points and 15 or so smaller bucks. the buck pictured is now in a smaller group near the 15 smaller bucks of just 3 bucks. he is the biggest but not the nicest. there is a 3 year old with him that is 6 x 8, 20" wide and 12" tall that is going to be a monster in a few years.
of course they are on the wrong side of the fence now and on cwmu land. i talked to the land owner that i have permission for and he says they will be back that they always jump the fence but always come back into the cedars and hills once they get tired of sage. I am going back tomorrow to get better pic's and video [-o< keep you all posted

well i just went out for a small look in a field that i saw some deer moving from the alphalfa to the sage but could not get a good look at them. I got out there tonight just to see if there was something for the scout troop boys to shoot at and found a great first buck for one of the kids.

sorry boys the land owner kept me talking to long this morning and i did not get to the hills in time to get some pics. i did see 2 nice bucks on some land that is in the cwmu but just passed them by on the way to where i was hoping to go.

Sounds like you have yourself a great spot. I'll admit that I'm envious.

bad luck even worse for me. I am not going to be able to hunt the land the bucks are on. I found that it is not cwmu but just a land owner that does not like hunters on there land.

Well, that sucks! Any chance they end up on huntable land? Although, if they feel safe on the unhuntable land and there's no pressure on it it will be tough to get them to budge much.
