    Good luck, hopefully the change in weather has them moving. I'm sidelined until tomorrow.

    We got put under a winter storm warning for 6 to 9 inches and 30mph winds the next few days I bet Monday morning is pretty good for opening day of gun here. I’m off all week trying to fill my last tag.

    Tomorrow is PA gun season opener. I'll be out with my crossbow and .450 just in case I see something big that is too far away. Snow makes for some great hunting but not when it's windy. Good luck this weekend!

    I had a good set this afternoon. I saw 10 does and fawns and 5 different bucks. Just nothing I’m ready to pull the trigger on.

    We got skunked. The SE wind was actually N and then the neighbor was walking his woods 100 yards North of us. Maybe next time...

    All in due time. You sure have had a great year, Mitch. You must eat venison for almost every meal.

    LOL life needs to slow down and honestly less snow and bitter cold. I personally if push comes to shove will grab my dad's crossbow and just sit in the blind blanketed up till season closes if it means we win :)

    Thanks dmax, I'm right about where I need to be maybe 1 more would do. We eat deer of some sort probably at least 3-4 times a week so 9-11 deer will get us through the off season usually but my boys sure aren't getting any smaller. I also do a lot of sticks and jerky so they definitely don't go to waste in our household.

    I've got faith in you guys, good luck to you all the remainder of the season!

    Guys, sorry I have not touched base lately. I was on vacation for the Wi gun hunt that ended Sunday. My new local spot is still showing promise and I will be out Saturday and Sunday. As for this spot it has not been gun hunted. I am getting day time pictures on the cam. Am I reading the standings correctly we are in 2nd place?

    Overview update for all:

    If you said any buck still to come would be the lowest possible (fergie clause) of 50 points we have potentially 500 points or more out there possible.

    @Slugger - Can provide a buck harvest still. (has doe harvest scored)
    @airenlow - Can still provide 50 points (has a buck scored)
    @Hotrod9 - Can provide buck or antlerless harvest still
    @peakrut - Can provide buck or antlerless harvest still
    @dmax4me - Can still provide 50 points (has a buck scored)
    @atlasman - Can still provide 50 points (has a buck scored)
    @whitetailjunky3 - Only member fully done contributing.
    @fletch920 - Can still provide 50 points (has a buck scored)
    @tynimiller - Can still provide 50 points (has a buck scored)
