While set up for fox late yesterday afternoon waiting for sundown, this trophy walked out of the woodline at about 175 yards. You cant see all of rack in this picture, but when I zoom it on my computer you can see he has 7 1/2 points.
I had seen two buck fighting here the other day at 350 yards so I brought my camera with telephoto lens. Too bad it wasn't rifle season!!

After watching those buck spar for about 15 minutes, I decided to creep the 125 yards or so to his position to let him know those buck were over there. He came down off his tree stand so we could move closer. I glassed the area where the buck were sparring while he was climbing down and they were gone. I kept looking through binocs in that direction and all of a sudden a huge rack came up into view walking straight for me. There was a dip in the landscape which I couldn't see. This buck appeared 45 yards in front of me and saw me. I had my Gillie jacket on and he stood there and stared at me, not sure what I was. I slowly as I could knelt down and tried to signal my brother n law, but he couldn't hear me. Next thing you know this buck is grunting and slapping his hoof. Unfortunatly he split.
