    A rly crappy pic of the tall 8 I had at 10 yrds.

    Not very wide but good mass and kinda tall.

    He was around 2 steps away from catching a Victory arrow when he caught a wiff of where I walked in. :(

    Pretty pumped right now! First archery deer at 6pm tonight! On public land! Made that mile drag out of the woods worth it!

    High pressure and rising. 38 degrees. November 6. Sounds like a recipe for a big buck to hit the ground! Good luck boys!

    Shouldn't matter for hunting. 2 hrs before daylight is still 2 hrs before daylight, regardless what the clock says, right?

    Agreed. We didn't change anything until we get up. If you change them before you go to bed there is a tendency to stay up later because of what the clock says.

    All settled in...I'm about an hour early today, wanted to get through the field early to try and avoid pushing anything out, as far as I know I didn't, which means I did good, or there were just no deer to push....not planning on an all day sit, but at provisioned for one just in case...never know; it is November....

    Headed out! We have 4 people hunting this morning on all sides of the property. Someone should see a big boy! I'm sitting the same stand I say in last night. Ended up seeing 3 bucks and was able to rattle one in from over 400 yards! Time to KILL!

    Saw bucks dogging does the entire day, yesterday. I am riflexcited hunting this week in Minnesota, but just thought I would pass on the information. Temps didn't even seem to slow them down. It was 71 here yesterday. First time I've seen that in northern Minnesota during rifle.

    Even all the better reason to let him walk. Good choice, tough decision, but good choice.
