    I’m awake, but grudgingly. I watched the Rams/49ers game last night. I didn’t intend to watch the entire game but it was a good game that went to overtime. So I ended up going to bed around 11:00 and the 4:00 am alarm wasn’t pleasant.

    I’ll head out in about a half hour.

    Congratulations Holt! That's a great buck. I guess your plan paid off.

    Good luck this morning guys! Fall is in the air here.

    I feel like I was beat with a basball bat. Sleep was horrible with all the adrenaline. I didnt settle down til after midnight. But it's all worth to go in the garage this morning and see my buck hanging.

    Were you in the same location where you had been seeing the other buck that you passed? Was it in the same bed? I envy your skills.
