I have resisted the urge to go out during the warmer weather..... yesterday was my second day out. I always wait until the weather turns colder and frosts....... well after slipping around my area to fine tune this springs scouting, I have managed to fine some awesome spots. I found two rubs yesterday as big around as my thigh..... and several others 5" in diameter.
Here is the part that makes me a little nervous..... I found a great spot with big rubs along a rub line. Found a tree to take advantage of the prevailing wind and sunlight. Was feeling real good about setting up in this place in 2-3 weeks....... as I began to slip up the hill from this bench a accidently snapped a twig and to my surprise a giant of a whitetail jumps up in the briar patch above me (40 yards away) and ran off. He was the largest whitetail buck I have ever seen in the woods. Typical 10 pt with G-2s pushing 12 inches..... wide and tall rack! I honestly think he was pushing 180 or better..... I just hope that I did not totally screw up the area. The wind was blowing in my face and he ran directly away from me. I am positive that he did not smell me..... not convinced that he saw me either........ I would love to see him again along that rub line.........
