So, hows it look for the opener for you guys? It is looking great for my best friend and I here in Indiana County. We have our stand sites picked out and we have shooting lanes cleared. My game camera gave me a GREAT perspective as to when to site in the stands. One thing that I found most amazing is the amount of deer travel on these trails from 1:00-3:00 P.M. I mean, I got a good 15 pics of doe moving on a trail that leads past my stand all during the mid-day/early afternoon time.

Also, I saw the Ghost Buck. He is still hanging around. I saw him about 20 yards from where my best friend will be on the first morning. He got bigger from last year. He is no longer a 10 point, he is an 11 point. He has a slightly bigger spread, but no much. He is probablly in the 20-21 inch range. He did gain alot more mass, and, his points are all roughly an inch longer.

We have been seeing TONS of bucks around while spotting and scouting, even though we never managed to get them on the Game Camera. We have seen about 7 or 8 different bucks in the plot of woods that we are hunting. There are only two that we would classify as shooters, so, its gonna be tough for my friend and I to fill both our buck tags, but, it could happen.

Also, we both got one doe tag each, we should have had atleast two, but, the county treasurer made a mistake and when we called about it "they had sold out of tags and they couldn't do anything about it". My grandfather got two doe tags, so, hopefully we can get 4 doe out of this little piece of woods.

The acorn crop is terrible this year though. We had to pattern the deer differently than last year. Now, instead of moving through oaks and browsing till they got to the standing cornfields surrounding the property, they are using thick trails through brush to enter the corn.

Well, I have to go to work, gotta make some money. Talk to yall later.
