    They're all indoors sitting in the A/C!

    But seriously, no movement this morning for you?

    Drop in temps for upcoming weekend.

    No movement, heard what I'm sure was a doe group but they stayed on the other side of the hill

    Last evening I saw 4 bucks and 2 doe. I had a really nice 8 pointer (maybe mid 130s) at 23 yards. There are bigger in the area. Fun encounter having them at ground level as I sat in a blind.

    Last evening I had 4 bucks come out. The wide 8 was at 30 yards form quite a while eating. He doesn't look as big from an elevated position. The other bucks were year and halfs.

    A couple decent bucks have been taken in the area but nothing I have pictures of. The biggest one I have has been pictured a mile up the road on Sept 18th. So they are moving around a bit.

    Well tomorrow is our opener. Will be in a tree in the morning or evening depending on who can watch my son (it's mom's weekend to work, so lucky me :) ).

    I'll be targeting bucks this week, I've seen more than usual for this time of the year, but there all young ones so far.

    Does anyone know if i shoot a buck can i choose to not enter it in the contest? I know i can't enter one late but i have 2 buck tags and i might get out of state. I guess I'm saying if i shoot a basket rack am i forced to put it in the contest? Or can i just elect to not enter it at all since I'll hopefully see a bigger one come rut time

    Last year a guy shot a smaller buck and then later shot a 190 or something.
