    I don't have the pic on my phone, but I've got another 150" ten pointer right behind one of my sets. The shooters keep coming out! I'll be out tomorrow evening.

    Nothing the other night, til leaving then saw some does. Today sat near a buddy at one of his spots he used last year. Had 3 does and a fawn. Considering where it is that was good. Nothing in range. The doe and fawn bedded 60 yards down wind for ten min then I think had to have winded me. They got up and kinda nervous left. My buddy checked his cam on way out and sent me this guy when he got to his computer

    Pic was on a trail between us and little before light this morning. I like the layout there and might try decoy and scent in a bit.

    wow... that is a freak!
    checked my cam at lunch today... big 10 was under my stand again at 7:30pm opening night... half hour after I was out... ugh.
    was over 80 out yesterday and had a doe under stand at 7am and a spike at 4;20 pm... only daylight pics in days... on the hottest day!
    crazy

    Took off from work early today. Got into a stand. Wind is right so had to go. But it's still way too warm.

    Here is a buck I'm chasing. Ignore date and time. It's for sure not 1am and January in Canada with green leaves.

    After seeing that pic plans changed some and will be sitting there again Friday afternoon. Then possibly Sunday town area. Those brow tines have me hooked too. The area he's at is kinda surprising but guess goes to show almost anywhere there's deer there's a chance at big or cool ones. Good luck to you guys as always and hopefully next few days we'll have some more points

    If one is within range for me tomorrow I can't promise I won't beat you to one...
    My buddy sat there this morning and grabbed his card since it was right there.
    Added this guy from two nights ago right at last minutes of legal time

    Tough to not want to hold off for one of them, but I'm happy tagging something. Just hopefully one of these guys gets to be the first one in range

    i agree... I would much rather shoot the 10 or 8 I have on camera... but with the amount of people hunting around me... buck in hand means that buck will die. lol
    Good luck... cooling off and raining her... rain supposed to stop around 4. Hopefully they move before dark.

    I've got school tonight, but tomorrow night I've got the north wind and cold temps i need to hunt my number one! And then Saturday evening I'm hunting a place that is unbelievable. Idk if you guys have heard of Phillip Vanderpool, but I will be hunting a spot directly across from where he has shot two of his Illinois deer.

    Didn't see much tonight, my son didn't either. He's staying at his grandparents he wanted to get up and hunt down by their lake. My dad got a big one on camera down there. I think I have him hooked.

    I also grabbed my card st the river and set another cell cam. Got a picture of Moose.
