    I'm about 100 hrs into it. I have passed every one of these deer, most of them on several occasions. I have one truly mature buck on the properties I hunt, but I have not been good enough this year to even sneak a peek.
    10- 1.5s (roughly, It could be as high as 15)
    4- 2.5s
    3- 3.5s
    0- older

    1.5 - 11
    2.5 - 3
    3.5 - 1

    approx. 125hrs in the woods bouncing between probably 10 spots
    shot would what i would consider a 2.5, going strictly off of body size for my area (131lbs dressed)
    from what i can gather they were all different bucks

    Put a lot of hours on stand this year.

    Saw 16 different bucks, 3 of them at 2.5, the other 13 were 1.5

    Out of the 16, 14 of them were in bowrange, with the biggest I passed on around 105-110in. 8 pt.

    I don't know.. ask Atlas.. he apparently knows more about what I've seen than I do. Lol!:)

    Hey Steve.. You ever think about hunting that Camp Ripley place? I just spent half the day researching that thing and was just blown away at the bucks they've taken there. Wow! I've never heard of it before until this year.

    This has so far been one of my worst years ever. I've seen 1 racked buck total in 15+ sits...it was a 2.5yo 8pt. Little to no movement or sign on my property so far. I normally see about 10-12 different bucks at least by this point.

    1.5's - 6
    2.5's - 2
    3.5's - 1
    4.5's - 0
    5.5's -1

    On the five and a half year old, it was of the local legend "Freak Daddy" who I say is 5.5 but the Siman Brothers may argue he is younger due to the size of his body last year.
