    Hey both VS and I both shot at bucks this season and missed. But was rewarded shortly after. Stay positive, plenty of season left and the rut is still kicking! It can still happen

    Well I’ve been up since about 1:30. Got here nice and early and was quiet getting in. Scrapes all over the place. I’m after one in particular but this whole area is covered in buck sign.

    Good luck tonight! Is this the spot you showed maps of the other day?

    I'm on stand also, just snuck out of work. Still looking for my doe tonight.

    Yes I ended up staying back out of the woods a little bit.

    I’m at the blue dot rather than the pin.

    Just had 2 big does and a fawn at 7 yards. I should probably shot one, but I'm hoping something comes following.
    Its just too perfect of an afternoon!

    Been set up for bout a half or 45 mins. Nothing yet but I've been up and down the tree twice now so not suprising.

    One disheartening thing is when pulles bow up the rope got snagged on knob on sight and once got it up noticed it was pretty loose. Then also noticed theres one of the quick adjust knobs completely missing. Just now noticed that so don't even know how long its been gone. Climbed down to see if its laying on ground but didnt see it. Hoping its in bow case. So now idk what to think. Shot bout a week ago messing around and didnt notice anything, but with that knob being loose got me wondering.

    In pic the knob on top was loose snd can see where the other part it missing. Looks similar to one on bottom with the checking.

    Checking in. Wife is in my stand. I'm on the ground trying to get a better shot on the big boy I saw last night.
