    Awesome buck again Rick. I probably can't say that enough.
    Good luck wake. You've got more patience than me and looking forward to seeing the results of it.
    I checked my town cam yesterday. Battery died over two weeks ago. That's what I get for letting it sit over a month. That cam has eaten last few sets fast so might be shot. Had decent day does and one buck maybe 100+ by a few times. The stand that was there by someone else gone too. Gonna be all day Friday with a big temp drop so hoping to drop anything and everything that comes by, got the tags for there. Otherwise hoping to sit tonight near dark too.

    Rick... that is a slammer!!! Awesome! I've always wanted a drop!
    Wake, you are a much better man than me... I would have let the air out of that 8 in a heartbeat!!

    I won't be out again until next Monday AM in NY after a mature 125"+ 3.5 year old or better!
    Can't wait. Prepping up with work and headed out to Pittsburg w/ the fam Thursday. you know I love my fiancé when I'll be missing a few key rut hunting days to go see her family... hahaha

    Guys I have officially put down a buck! Getting him scored tomorrow so I will post pics and enter him after that. Nothing huge but a good buck for here in NE PA and I'm super content with him. Hope everyone is having a great season, Rick that's a hell of a buck man! Good luck to everyone still trying to fill tags!!!

    Way to go guys! I'm still trying to get a buck on the ground. Haven't gotten any shooters on camera yet. Lots of scrapes opening up around my stand. Just a matter of time.

    Congrats Berwick!! Happy to hear... looking forward to seeing pics and hear the story!
    Keep it up boys... we are holding our own... for those of us w/ bucks on the board, we just need to get our additional 50 points w/ a doe or another buck... but our first buck is the one for the team score.
    Regardless of the team score... just glad to see how much success we have all had thus far as a team. This is what it's all about!

    Guys, tonight marked my 38th hunt of the season and I've had two deer in range all season...all of the other deer have been out of range. Also, I'm still not seeing crazy rutting action either. Hopefully next week kicks it in!

    IL Buck.. PM me... I can try to get the pics on .... are there 2 pics on FB? If so, I can try to get from there...
    Congrats on the buck!
    Where you at Berwick?!?! Let's see him!
    It can change in an instance Andrew... you know that! Just keep the faith. All of that time and hardwork will pay off.
    I certainly can appreciate your frustration.

    Congrats ILL. Great to see more kills. Looking forward to seeing pics and hope things settle for you.
    Andrew hope it's all leading up to getting one of the big guys you've got around. This has been the weakest rut around here too for what I've seen. Always see something out chasing but the does don't even look to be showing anything and haven't seen anything really on bucks. It's been 50-60 degrees which doesn't help either. Usually we've had snow at least on and off since Halloween and temps down into freezing. I've been working in the yard in shorts and sandals still. Feels great, but like season shouldn't even be started yet yet alone 2 months in.

    As a side question, do any of you guys use ozone generators for storage stuff or anything? After reading on here a bunch I got a cheap one($40 shipped) for my truck and inside and seems to work awesome. Few weeks back had does down wind that bedded a while then were nervous but no major spooks and seems effective. Worst case after sitting overnight in my truck it took the sweaty work truck smell to almost literally no smell whatsoever and lasted. It's great it's got car plug in and house. Some say gimmick some say amazing for hunting, worst case it cleared the truck smell and that's worth the price. Had to ask/share
