I spotted this eight trailing a doe on the far side of a field. I waited 5 minutes and proceeded into the pines behind them. He spotted me right away but wouldn't leave the doe. As I tried to work to a better angle a 5 pt strolled up intent on the doe and blocked my approach. He kept his distance from the 8pt, and the 8pt made sure he stayed between the 5pt and the doe. All went well until the wind shifted toward the doe and she bolted, 8pt in tow, and the 5pt 50yards behind. I guess I'm going to have to get a new deodorant, but a nice end to a morning afield none the less.
