I don't know if this buck is the big one the neighbors were seeing or not. I got a picture of a buck in the distance prior to rifle season that was at the outer limits of the flash, but not sure if this is him. I heard the big 8 got shot about a mile or so from here. Either way, this one should be nice next year.
