    That’s what it’s all about. It doesn’t matter what he scores (other than for the contest) and as long as you are happy with him, that’s all that matters!

    0523815A-457B-4BC3-814D-CF8B83A81E07.jpeg Congrats Cablebob on a nice buck. I put up a few points too. Old boy had his head up in a scrape tree so I didn’t realize he was only a 4. But it still got the old adrenaline flowing. Now looking for another 50 points.

    Hey guys do I still record 4 circumference measurements since he is a 4 pointer or just 2 per side?

    Awesome Copperhead! That’s looks like a big deer! Obviously it got your heart pumping and that’s all that matters. Keep it rolling boys!

    Congrats!!!

    I had a wall mounter at 30 yards with my .270 today... Was chasing a doe hard and I was in a box stand. Was behind me and was on one side of the box blind. Tried to stop them but no go. Jumped to the floor of the stand and got to the other side window. I literally yelled 4 or 5 times and he finally jumped off the trail into some willows and had his ass to me. He turned his head to look where the doe was, I had the crosshairs on his neck, but didn't pull the trigger, at 30 yards.

    I'm beating myself up over this one pretty bad. He was pushing 140" easy. I don't know why I didn't pull the trigger.

    748FF907-B711-4A81-A767-A8B03C141E02.jpeg You still get 4 measurements. Not an official scorer, but this is where I’d take them.

    Gents, we’re up to 4 bucks now as a team. If most of us can put down a doe and one or two more people can score decent bucks, we have a chance to be top 3 I think. It’s been fun thus far!

    I’m gonna take Tuesday off and pull an all day sit. Had a monster doe on Saturday at 20 yds but she was moving way too quick to even think about grabbing my bow.

    Just got settled. Good news is, I’ve seen 4 deer already. Bad news, that was walking to my stand.

    Lots of movement tonight. Mostly doe and smaller bucks. Just nothing close enough to get a shot other than a couple young bucks. It’ll be my last time out until the weekend I think.
