Late yesterday afternoon, we hooked up the horse trailer and went to load two of our horses. We parked the trailer beside the road and I walked across the road to get one of the horses out of the pasture. I had got him, had him by the trailer and was brushing him. HIs ears perked, I looked and told my wife to get the binoculars out of my truck. 80 yards away and across the road right from where I had just got the horse came a 180 plus inch 10 point, then came a 170 plus inch non-typical. Without a care in the world they kept walking toward the road, looked our way, looked for traffic (I kid you not) and waited to jump the fence to go into one of my plots.
Vehicles came a few times and they would pull back some before jumping the fence. This was clearly a normal evening routine for them. My wife has seen some really nice bucks, but had never seen two of this caliber together and so close.
Honestly, I did not expect them there. I know the 180 plus well. They had been laying in a very small patch of very mature oaks keeping cool and waiting to come out and feed.
I hate they are crossing the road daily but don't think there is anything I can do about it.
