    Saturday is looking good here,I'm thinking about sitting all day by the river. Temps supposed to drop and wind looks good on extended forecast. Hopefully I have a run in with Moose!

    nice pics Wake... hope you connect on one. Sounds like you'll have the perfect day.
    It's supposed to rain here Friday and Sat, but Friday PM and Sat AM are all I have to hunt this week. My fiancé may be coming out too, so i'll put her in the stand where I shot the big 8 and i'll take the climber up above her. Anything small I will let pass and see if she gets a shot... if the big 10 or another mature deer comes by me above I'll have to let it have it! LOL

    I leave in a couple of weeks for my Western NY Hunt. I'll be hunting 11/14-11/18. That is where I have shot 3 of my largest bucks I have ever taken. I took my largest there with the smokepole back in 08 and a big boy w/ the bow as well.
    Fingers crossed.

    Had a 40, stopped her, it was 6:20, brought the pin on her and everything ran together, readjusted, thought I was good, then right as I shot, everything ran together again. Shot right under her.

    No worries Andrew at least you didn't wound her. You'll redeem yourself next time!

    Anyone who says they have never missed either hasn't hunted very long or is a liar.

    But the good news is, afterward I saw a 120-130" mature buck rubbing and scraping out of range. Got some nice video of him. He isn't very wide but he is tall and heavy
