    Checking in!

    Haven't really seen any rules but I'm assuming this is a buck only contest? Have you guys heard anything?

    I don't plan on shooting anything under 3.5yo/120 until late in the season if I still got any empty freezer. I am really hoping to drop a doe opening weekend so as to focus on mature bucks after that.

    If I do drop one over 120 that will be my entry regardless. Considering my chances of dropping one bigger than that are very small.

    I’m so far behind this year I just hope I get a shot opportunity at a buck with my bow this year. Haven’t shot anything with my bow since I shot a 9 point back in ‘17 so I’m due.

    I'm getting my butt kicked by bucks this year. I've got about 20 sits in and have yet to see anything close to mature.

    Just busting some chops. I've been following along on the LFTS thread. Holt I too have been getting whooped. I had an encounter with a mature buck Friday night but right at last light. The pressure on public land here in Michigan has been incredible. I have seen more guys this year then I have in the last 3 yrs combined.

    I heard on the radio earlier this week that hunting license sales have increased a lot this year. Same with spring Turkey. I’m fortunate to have a small piece of private to hunt in SW MI. I’ve only been out hunting twice and have yet to see a deer on hoof. Been getting a couple nice bucks on trail camera though

    Last I heard was 30% increase in sales so far over the same time period and we haven't even hit the busiest sales week yet. I will be curious to see what the final number end up at.
