    Team 8 is running away with it as of now and I have the next three weeks to kill something else. If I kill something it'll be worth more than 50 pts.

    Had a great day yesterday, but could not get it done. 10 pt at 14 yds just outside the timber. He was headed in toward me, when a 12 pt come for a challenge. They danced, then the big boy took off back across the field and the 10 pt followed him 5 minutes later. Then an 8pt came out 50 yds to the west and trotted out of range. A 6pt was dogging a doe, they stopped to bed down to my south, but trotted back west. Going back to same stand tomorrow morning. Super cold and a good north wind for this spot. I am trying hard team, but tomorrow will be it for a week and a half.

    Had a great sit on Sat and saw 11 deer way back in a corner of a public parcel. 2 miles in and difficult to get to.

    Only clear shot was a fawn with fibromas.

    Since it's rifle season next weekend, I'm headed back today for a morning sit, but a few trees over. If it's brown and I've got a clear shot...

    The reason I asked is that I don't think they will let me enter an elk for 50 points.

    No, strictly deer, not elk. But is can be any species of deer.

    Well, I had planned on spending the day sitting in a river bottom bedding area. Unfortunately, it poured rain all morning. I got to the parking area around 11 am only to have my wife call. Her car broke down and had to be towed to the shop. Now I am in line to pick up the kids from school. Weather has gotten worse instead of better as was forecasted. High winds and more rain than called for. Good luck if you are out.

    Got it done this morning. I posted to the scorecard. 8 pt scored 141 1/8. I wanted to wait for something bigger, but I snort wheezed two bucks in and he was the biggest. In the mean time it was a blizzard here, so he got prize of a meat freezer.

    Yeah, it was a near blizzard an hour and a half after I gutted him and I, my son and daughter-in-law got him in the truck.
