    We'll i had about 7 does in the field 30-40 yards out and a little buck chasing 1 of the does for 30 minutes but no shooter's might have had a larger buck come in right at dark but couldn't tell how big he was! Try again Friday maybe but for sure Saturday!

    Sounds like a good night MO. I went out yesterday, saw a decent 7 that I would have taken (woulda been my biggest with a bow) and it was in range. The only problem was he came snooping in while I was attaching the climber to the tree. By the time I got my bow in hand and ready he had figured out that something wasn't right. He was also the only deer I saw, but man were the squirrels out in force.

    Holy crap I'm shaking so bad my tree is moving.
    I have been rattling all morning and kept having Lil bucks come in.
    So i hit then hard and loud.
    I look up and there he is locked up at 150 from me in my field.
    I have a few pics of this feet but never posted them and i won't until i get him.
    But i can tell you this i only see him once or twice a year only during the rut and he is easily pushing 190"
