First, I never bought a turkey permit and I had 8 beards at 15 yards. At 10:30 I'm thinking about getting down and calling it a day because no deer have come through. Out of nowhere, two HUGE mature bucks jog in at 15 yards. I start shaking like a leaf and move to get into position. I get busted by buck #1 that has TOO many points to count (I was 25 ft. up too). He runs off about 5 yards ass facing me. The other deer just stops. His vitals are covered by a tree. At this point I'm shaking so much I can barely hold onto the crossbow. Prior to this, I had to remove my left contact lens because something was irritating my eye. Now I can only see out of one eye and I shoot the crossbow with both eyes open so now it looks 3D! I finally get squared away and the second buck starts walking and I aim and fire, but the safety was still on! TOO late, they both jog off and I'm left with heart palpitations. I have never seen such big deer from the stand. OMG!
Why were these two mature bucks together at this time of year?
