    Well I gave up around 11 this morning. Hunted since Thursday night and didn't see a deer. Between 3 of us we saw 2 deer. Hmmm. Back at it Wednesday night thru Sunday. They are there. It's gotta pick up.
    Sounds like a few guys got their deer today. Congrats to all!

    Wow, sit all day in the stand, climb down cause I'm pretty well out of shooting light, and what would you know, a buck walks about 15 yards to my left, pretty sure he wasn't a shooter, looked like a big bodies small rack 8 that I have pictures of, but not 100% sure, makes me wonder though if I would have just waited 5 more
    Minutes I maybe would have had a chance at a buck.... Just don't think I would have had enough light though....

    Congrats! Know the shot was good or letting him lay?

    Saw 6 different does tonight. First 3 cam out right at 5:00, and the last 3 I saw about 20 minutes later. No bucks.

    He had the arrow in him.. Not a lot of penitration. He went 70-80 yrds and sat there for a long time.. I could see my nocturnal. Then I couldn't.. Then a few secs later I heard a crash. I hope he went down and stayed down!

    Well the nocturnal will help, unless he fell shot side down. Sorry, there was a poll on here whether deer fell shot side up or down awhile ago.

    When do you start the track?

    You doing it yourself again? Think you opted to hang your own sets last year most of the time didn't you?

    Knock one down, the time is now (through the 17th :lol: )
