    Congrats man! Love to hear all of the story on how the whole hunt played out! Where was your first shot placed that he made it so long?

    And with that great buck boys we should be in first..... Time to strengthen that lead and let's all make the push. Follow that awesome example that has been given.

    I got more pics of me with the bow for sure, I’ll post them tom when I put a tape on him. I’d say close to 130” give or take

    I should score a 50 pointer next week with either another buck or doe. Anyone else feeling confident?

    I have 2 weeks off to hunt Ohio, so god willing I’ll be putting up 50 on another buck. I wish you could cull bucks for score, o well. Counting my eggs before they hatch lol.

    With season well on its way I think we should all know (or at least feel) if a buck is possible. Rut is right around the corner so I don't think many of us will be taking doe for a week or two, but I can't wait to see the Bone start piling in. I am not a guarantee for a buck this year as I'm hunting one certain deer but if I don't get him I'll atleast have another doe.

    I have 3 good bucks I'll take if they give me the opportunity. The big ones are still nocturnal from what I've seen but that will change as the rut heats up.

    Good work fellas! Wind got crazy here too. My son and I had to go dig our blind out of the woods as it blew away. Hopefully that doesn't blow our position.

    I’ll be able to hunt at least 4 or 5 days a week after this week now. I’m confident I’ll have a shot a nice buck then. Thought I would this weekend but it doesn’t always work out when you have to share a property with guys

    Sitting in one of my better stands tonight. Had a couple bucks moving early evening on camera but nothing big. Did have pics of does busting by but it didn’t catch the buck. Hoping for some action!

    I have only seen a spike, a 4, a 5, and a wide but tiny tined 6. All the big ones have not been on camera since 9/20. I should be good for a doe.

    Well done suncrest! Congrats! I'm trying to get my wife on deer right now, so I'm not in the driver's seat yet.
