    I have real high hopes of shooting a good buck this weekend especially after my hunt last night. Ended up seeing a real nice 145in 8 pointer. Had two bucks going at it pretty good through the brush in front of me as well.

    This is the buck I saw. He has a lot more mass than the picture shows here it really surprised me.

    Was in the stand for about 10 minutes, had a 4 point come in. I'm hoping for a good night tonight. But the next few days look excellent besides the wind.

    Update: have a spike bedded down 80 yards straight in front of me.

    Update 2: a 5 point came out and was play fighting with the spike. Thought that was pretty cool.

    So... Road kill is high, big bucks are dropping right and left and this morning is 36°. Which to me means it's prerut folks, with the first cold snap. i just woke up like its Christmas morning. I'm heading into my hot spot which I have successfully stayed out of since June, to have a go at tagging out. Good luck my brothers in arms. For today is what we make of it.
