    A coworker of mine goes to mermet pretty often to dive. He is leaving next week to go down to the gulf to spear fish. He keeps telling me to get my certs.

    may just shoot the first doe I see for some meat and team points.
    We'll see what the camera says.

    Heading out to my first sit in IL tomorrow night. Have a decent one that has been somewhat consistent over the past week. Hoping for a repeat of my first sit last year....

    Good luck to those of you already out there!

    Sat 2 hours. Skies opened up. Decided to pull out. Didn’t want to shoot and have to track in rain

    I will be out for my first hunt tomorrow morning pending rain. I also don't like killing in the rain unless it is a deer that is well worth the hard tracking.

    In the stand right now. I have homecoming and class reunion stuff to attend tonight. Only shooting one of my target bucks if they happen to show up. Everything else gets a pass this evening.

    I had eyes on some nice bucks this morning. I was glassing from the house and could see some nice shooters feeding on my food plot. Will be in the stand all weekend almost. This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving. Were doing the whole feast tomorrow. So I'll be a good husband for the day. But Sunday, Monday I'll be in a tree.

    Hey boys is the 2 picture rule with bow not in effect anymore? I literally already counted 3 or 4. Also one guys score sheet says 95 5/8. But then at the top wrote 101 7/8??? It was entered at the higher .Another guy has a 10 point but has G5 scores..... Whoever is managing this I don't think is being very thorough lol
