5 bucks following one hot doe

At 7:50am this morning I hear off to my left a grunt grunt grunt and look and here comes a deer. With the snow on the ground I could see it looked like a doe and following was a spike, followed by either a big 6 or and 8, followed by a big spike, followed by another spike and about 20 minutes later another spike. No shot as they were about 75 yards away.

Id say their most likely rutting by you eh? Sucks no shot, but thats still pretty cool to see

Yeah they were in no hurry either. I'm gonna try and set up on the ground rather than in the stand on the downwind side of the trail they took in hopes that a similar situation happens tomorrow. There are some pines mixed in with the hardwoods and I've seen other deer walk this route before so maybe I can catch lightning in a bottle.
