I Saw Them!
I saw the monster last night and his "apprentice" as they ate acorns in my front yard.
From the road I saw the big buck had at least 10 points on an impressive rack and the smaller buck had a nice 6-point rack but he was clearly younger and smaller than the "boss."
There is also a nice rub on one of the trees next door which, I suspect, was left there by one of the two larger bucks I saw last night.
I think this weekend might be a good time to get out with the tracking stick and the camera to see if I can't find where "the herd" is holed up prior to the rut. They're often habituated and allow me to get fairly close before running and I got close enough for pictures last night but it was too dark and all I have are glowing eye shots.
Exciting times around here (for me anyway...)
Thanks for reading,

Nothing like fall! The deer are active in my neck of the woods as well...... They like what left in my garden. They put a hurtin on it this year raiding the plot to much....
Dont spook him boy!
Next Wednesday you can legally "Stick" him and take him home!
WOOT!
They were back tonight. There are three of them--all bucks.
The smallest one must be a yearling and the big one has 11 points (6 on one side/5 on the other) and a big thick neck.
They're eating the acorns and getting fat.
They don't seem to scare easily as I spoke to them at length tonight and they didn't scatter until the dog next door came out for a pee.
Good times...
