    of course I didn't see a darn thing all weekend, but my cousin and a family friend/fellow deer camper both smoked a couple of hogs this AM. Both of them were chasing does. Cousins was a 2 year old 8 point with a 19" inside spread (yup!) and the other was a monster 5-6 year old mainframe 8 with 2 count 'em kickers and a 25" inside spread, and probably went 225 on the hoof. We're guessing he's pushing 150" (my official guess is 148.) Pics don't really do it justice. For reference, that's my hand and it's 11" wide.

    Cousin also saw a buck mounting a doe from the road on Friday. It's on!
