Congrats Matt!
He sure looks 150.
I suck at internet so I'm no help on the video.
But would love to see it.
And a collective wow for all of y'all.
Thanksgiving week was good for the panhandle folks.

Rattled in an average 8 point this evening. First saw him about 400 yards away. Rattled a little and he came on in. It amazes me how they can come to my rattling location from a distance so precisely. Anyways, when he got to within 40 yards or so, I decided to snort-wheeze just to see what he would do. Even though I was in full camo, I was exposed and figured he would run off. Instead, he bristled and kept coming in. Finally, at 15 yards, I got uncomfortable (I've read too many stories of rut crazed bucks attacking people), so I waived my arms. He just stared at me. I waived again and this time he ran about 15 yards in the opposite direction then stood and looked at me. I located a decent sized rock and threw it at him. This caused him to move on though I watched him amble off to about 300 yards where he happened upon a doe and her fawn. Then he annoyed them for a while. I rattled some more which didn't seem to bother either the buck or the does. Pretty evening, lots of fun, no deer killed by choice.

Saw two new young 8 points yesterday morning that will be very nice in a few years and had 11 does and fawns under the feeder last night with no interested bucks around. Seen five does and fawns so far this morning. Been hunting everyday since the 18th and despite logging over a dozen different bucks, not a single one has been anywhere close to mature.
I honestly thought we were a little farther along in the post-drought recovery, but I guess that's most likely not the case.
For those of you out, best of luck and be safe.
