Massive 8 pointer pics/videos

[Spinach]

On my way home today i saw this massive 8 pointer near my house, he was tending a smaller doe and was marking his territory right in front of me. I sat and watched him for over 5 minutes, took a bunch of pictures and 2 videos of him rubbing a tree. Notice the Doe behind the telephone pole.

This was at 3:30 pm, it looks like the rut is on in the metro area now.

Video #1 Watch the tree movement too!
