Dang! That was sweet!

It's kind of goofy and strange that here I go all the way to KY every weekend to hunt, and yet I take a turn out to the local shopping mall to get the best look at a buck in situ all season.

Tonight KYHillChick went out looking for a new washing machine-- the old one died tonight at the ripe old age of 13 years, 6 months, filling the basement with water as it went. We drove out to Tri-County Mall on the north side of Cincy to go shopping and what should we see but a sweet 10 pointer chasing doe less than a 1/4 mile from the mall, in a fallow part of the cemetery on RT 747. I pulled off and watched him. He was a magnificent specimen. He was taking turns chasing 4 doe in the last rays of sunlight. He probably went about 130 -140, and he was in full rut. He was lip curling, and chasing , but mostly he was just turning broadside to the doe and displaying his rack for the ladies-- and me. He was only 40 yards from the road.

Wow! What a sight he was! Across the street was a TGI Fridays and a strip mall with Kinkos. Most people were just driving on, and couldn't understand what I was doing. Traffic started backing up, and somebody started honking, and I had to finally break off and keep going.

MMmmmmmMMMmmmm! Some nights the Good Lord gives you a peak at what it is all about. This was one of them.
