    And boy I'm excited for the early bow opener next sat! This is in a 10 acre piece next door. A couple of them will get a pass this year but that 9pt drop tine will certainly not!

    The body on the left deer 1st pic makes me think he's old as dirt and his rack has already peaked.

    Wow, good looking bucks! Good luck!!

    Our opener is tomorrow, I'm not even slightly excited yet......but I MAY go out for a while in the AM, just to sit in the woods and take it all in.....

    I'll get more serious about it in a few weeks.....

    Good luck ventilating that bad boy! Our opener is also tomorrow and will be rainy. I'm going to stay out of the woods until next weekend when a huge cold front is supposed to swing thru. Hopefully that will have them moving.

    You guys make me wish I was out hunting again. Nothing like being in the woods and hearing a twig snap behind you. That used to get my chit flowing.

    I got out in the rain this morning. Had one buck at 15 yards just begging me to shoot it but I'll wait for something a bit bigger. Couldn't get out there tonight. Not sure about tomorrow but there is plenty of time. Good hunting comes in about 3 weeks or so.

    Didn't get in from tn until 12:30am and jumped out of bed when I heard that alarm go off. Saw a spike, 8 doe's and a ground hog. I pulled the card on the camera and looks like the bucks all passed through around 3:45am but there was 6 bucks in there last night with 20mins left of shooting time! I'll certainly be back in the stand tonight
