    Hey, just letting youknow to rescore your buck. Get 4 H measurements on each side. For yours take the mass measurement on each side half way between the H3 amd MB tip

    Moon is a bit discouraging. Going to set shortly before sunrise.

    I'm up as well....for work....and I feel like I've been run over by a truck....the feeling of dragging and dead lifting a 200+lb animal into a truck...

    Just rambling for a minute while I'm getting ready. Most of us are in the same "area" that are on here at this moment. What are you guys seeing as far as "seeking/chasing"? Yesterday morning was the first real sign that anything was going on. It was a 4/6 ptr dogging a couple of does. That's been it. That lasted about 15 minutes. We drove around lady night after dinner on some back roads. Seen a die and fawn feeding on standing beans. Nothing else.
    Ideas? Is Charlie A. going to be right this year? From being on here almost all day yesterday I didn't get the feeling that it was full on yet.
    I didn't hunt much around Halloween due to being so warm.
    Did I/we on the mid-west miss it?
    Thoughts.

    From what I seen last night I think it's just now getting close to breaking loose! All 8 deer I seen followed my estrous trail!

    I've hunted at least 1 day every week since October 1st and yesterday was the first I have actually had deer respond to any calls. I'm pretty positive he was tending a doe, but she just wasn't ready, and he rattling pulled him off to challenge to keep her bedded...

    I've seen probably 10ish small bucks tge past two days and all seem to b cruising but I've only seen 1 actually chasing a doe. I think it's really close.

    Ordered the UFC fight last night... Up until 2am, up at 430. Here's to hoping I stay awake!

    Good luck everyone.

    The moon is incredible.

    In stand, amazingly didn't bump anything. 1/2 hour to go.

    Walked slow, trying to cool down before sealing up the suit. Warmth!

    I had my 2 best bucks out during daylight Halloween week. My biggest was dogging does on November 4th. I have seen nothing since then.
