Saw a bunch of does, even have a doe permit, but was waiting to see if any bucks were trailing them. There weren't.

I saw 2 bucks 1@10 yds & 1@ 60 ,both of them smallish.Last night I saw 2 does and a whole bunch of rain. Today the rain turned into wind and lots of it.[:@]You haven't missed to much.

Yesturday morning I saw a little buck, then in the evening I had a doe run past me and stop about 70 yards from me and then it just kept looking back. So I look over my right shoulder to see a big ol buck go chasing another doe across the field. I never got a shot. I had to end my hunt early though. At about 4:30 it started raining so hard that I couldn't see 50 yards in front of me and I was completely soaked all the way through. Then this morning I didn't see anything, 50+mph wind gusts. The only enjoyment I had was watching the birds fly into the wind.

I shot a nice 7 point yesterday evening. Right after I shot it they sky opened up and the monsoon started! It ran about 60 yards and jumped a fence into the woods in front me. Obviously no blood trail because of the rain[&o].

Three of us looked in the woods for a few hours (small wooded area) in the pouring rain and pitch dark but didn't find it.

I went back this morning and it was laying right on the other side of fence

. I don't know how we missed it, I bet one of us darn near tripped over it. It was raing so hard at times we could barely see though.

It should have been a 10 point, but one rack was broke from fighting. Weighed out to 140 lbs dressed.

I have pics but haven't posted them to the internet yet, I just got home a little bit ago.

My buddy shot a real nice 10 point with some kickers, I have pics of that as well.

Sounds like MI has been pretty good so far outside of the rain!

I am on my way to the UP in the am. It looks cold up there now

When we took ours in to get them weighed (my buddy entered a contest, I usually don't bother with it) they said they have had two that broke 200 lbs already. One was 203 lbs, and think they said the other was 250 something! I could have heard that wrong though. This in the adrian/brooklyn area, near MIS speedway.
