This past week the corner feeder was a hotbed of buck activity.  The young 8 pointer has all of the velvet off his horns and he will be a magnificent buck, if he gets through this season and that’s a big if!  I know that I’ll not shoot him.
    
But on September 12th a new buck showed up, a big one, a nice 7 or 8 pointer, I imagine he broke one off, but it’s sure early for them to be fighting.  He’s probably 4-1/2 years old, a little bigger body and good wide horns!  It’s a shame he broke a tine off!  You can see the lump on his right horn in the pictures below.
    
Here’s a picture of both big ones, the lead buck is a little bigger and both of them are pushing a 20 inch spread.

Just think, only 45 more days until the rifle season opens!
