I live and hunt in the next town over (east) from Avoca in WMU's 8P and 8R. Things are looking pretty good here in my hunting area anyways...there's been 7 or 8 nice 2.5/3.5 yr. old buckshanging around the alfalfafields and a mess of does and fawns too. I haven't got to hunt much yet, but I'vegot the next 3 daysoff of work and am pretty excited about getting out there tonight. There was a bruiser of a buckfeeding out in the cut cornfield behind my house last night.I caught a quick glance of him through binos and he was at least a wide, heavy 8-pt.I'd sure like to have him come walking by my stand. I know 2 guys from the areawho have already passed up 8-10 different bucks. Good luck.
