Went out yesterday morning and braved the frigid 75 degree temps to try my luck at some grass rabbits(Central TX Whitetail). I set up on a ridge overlooking about 1200 yrds total and ranged everything within 800 or so after first light. I watched three does at 400 come in to the oat pasture and was busy checking them out when I hear a slight scuff behind me. Have you ever had that happen? You know its a nice 10 point that has walked right up on you and you cant turn! I tried to tilt my head and peek around, but couldnt see anything. Finally after what seemed like an eternity, I heard it move off slowly. The wind had been in my favor and I slowly turned my head to look and behold my 10 point buck, waddling away, it was grey, had a shell and was about 12 inches high! I laughed so hard I spooked the does at 400 yrds. Thought I would share this embarrasing moment. Hope I dont get to much of a hard time for it.
