    Just curious if any of you have experimented with pre orbital scents? I've been doing these for years now and believe it's the best way to see what bucks you have patrolling around your property. Once you get these guys to over sign the lick branch/scrape, it really starts to get exciting pulling the cards out of the trail camera.

    Been real busy between work and getting ready for my wyoming mule deer trip at the end of the month I haven't even had time to pull my camera cards but not really getting my hopes up yet, it's usually the end of october when the big guys start showing up since our property's are more travel corridors with the crops around us. After everything is harvested (in 4-5 weeks) we'll start drawing them in and especially later on with our late season plots. Anyway season starts saturday, may go and sit that afternoon just to see what's happening and check camera's. Good luck to everyone else who's going this weekend.

    Just ordered a new ladder stand last night. Hope to get it picked up by this weekend and put in place. Trying to get all my firewood cutting done where I'm gonna be hunting so I can vacate the area and let things settle down.

    Got to go tonight, saw 3 does, 2 yr old 7 pt. and a nice bobcat. Helped a good friend recover his buck from opening night, he's one of the ones we've been watching this year...but he's not one of the big ones:) which is good for me now that he's done till rifle season.
