    I spent the entire day in the woods on Thursday and didn't see a single thing. On my drive home in the dark noticed about 15 deer within 3 feet of the road as I flew by them at about 70 miles per hour. So glad they didn't have ideas of crossing the street. Several of them were nice bucks too.

    Not me, but, my brother almost hit a small 6pt.

    I've watched the same group of doe cross my road everynight, at random intervals, and, in a 3 day period, I watched one almost get hit, each day, consecutively...It's becoming comical, now.

    One guy nearly flipped his lifted jeep while maneuvering to avoid her.

    Well PT..I hope that buck wonders where you CAN hunt him, and, you smack him !!

    Good Luck.

    I have hit 4 so far, and I'm only 18. I guess all those early morning basketball practices take their toll in more than one way :D
