    Sounds like an exciting hunt. Always nice to have a spot produce when you have that much anticipation for it! Sounds like it has the potential to be a great spot to kill a big public land buck!

    Where do I start.....
    Great story BBM! Sounds like you have a place that is worth putting time in.
    Congratulations Woody, a dead deer is always a trophy.
    Keep your head up Willhunt, we've all been there and those who haven't... will. :)
    Packerfan glad to hear someone is hearing/seeing chasing activity! Can't wait to get back at it this week.

    Final thought.. we can win this thing! I hope to do my part very soon and with a few does hitting the ground I love our chances! Congrats thus far Raxx Pack!

    We are expecting to get snow in my area for the next 5 days... I'll be doing my share of calling and rattling this week because of it, will see what happens.

    Saw another little buck last night. Probably a year and half, but hard to tell through the trees. I personally have yet to see a doe while in the tree and that is crazy because most years this is the exact opposite. Just glad to see one last night.
    There were a few people saying that we were supposed to get snow here soon also, but I am not seeing it on any of the weather forcast that I have seen. Cold weather is definitly on its way though, so the upcoming week should be really good.

    Guys I'm sacrificing a night in the stand to hunt in the ground blind with my wife. I've spotted a young buck the last 2 evenings walking along my bean field at the same time, same direction. We have a perfect wind for him this evening, so after work we are grabbing the ground blind and setting her up for a shot and hopefully her first deer. Wish us luck!

    I got her started hunting last year with the shotgun and this is her first year bowhunting. She's really into it. Her work schedule allows her to get in the stand while I'm still at work. She's been hunting hard for 2 weeks, she's due.

    I'm going to hunt Saturday evening and Sunday morning. Hoping the buck activity picks up by then. I have my Covert on a white oak that is still dropping acorns, so may get some idea of whats running around my place. I'm getting tired of seeing the same 5 or 6 deer. :)

    I'll be in stand Saturday and Sunday evening in Michigan.
    I leave for Wisconsin on October 30th - November 3rd, hoping that trip results in a dead doe and a buck encounter or two...

    I'll be in the woods Saturday and Sunday. Scrapes and rubs starting to pop up all over the place.
