    55 grains will give you some extra pop on the target for sure. May not be noticeable with the sound of impact at 30 yards but you the target feels it. So will the deer.

    Yeah sounds like that is more the southern area I am more towards the S/E border. Talked to a couple guys this weekend and there hasn't been much in our area as far as reported dead deer. Depending on the Facebook group you check out the reports range anywhere from normal or minimal to the sky is falling and the herd is already dead. LOL

    Sabotage! We can't repeat if we can't upload kill pics.

    Well it was a pretty productive weekend. I was able to move a couple stands that were in some now dead ash trees. I was also able to get one of my blinds set up as well. I also put together a new ladder stand but because I didn't have any really good bucks on camera and we are just now getting our oats in the ground I left the stand in the shed. As the season starts and my cameras start to give me more information I will place the stand as needed.
    The only really bright spot is we have a pretty healthy doe population so my hope is as the bucks lose velvet and we get closer to November we will pull more mature bucks onto our property.

    Okay gents, I had to download the taptalk app to be able to post pictures. Can’t keep me down for too long! Here’s my bucks from the rest of the card pull. Two pictures of one buck and a nice 8 pointer. Do you guys think they are both 3 year olds?? [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Agreed. I set up a mock scrape over the camera where I have that nice buck over the beans to hopefully get some better pictures.

    I finally got a respectable buck on cam! Mr 3 year old might be in trouble if other bucks don't show...

    That might be the skinniest necked deer I’ve ever seen I had to double take and check to see if he had a nut sack or if it was an antlered doe

    Hope it didnt come off as me knocking airenlow? I was just asking if my judgment is right. Sorry about that.

    No offense taken! I checked all the pics to see if it was camera angle, but I think he just has a tiny neck. Maybe he's a killer 2 year old? I would guess upper 120's on him.

    It’s so hard to tell this time of year. I think you’re spot on with upper 120s. If he is a 2 year old he’s going to be a bleeping mega stud
