I haven't been on here in awhile and wanted to say congrats on the deer Rackluster. Don't worry about the contest thing I'm glad you got ya a deer. Well I just got back from a 9 day hunt in Iowa and no buck to show for. The weather was warm and windy most of the time and movement was pretty slow but we still managed to see some really nice bucks and one of us even took a really nice 10pt. Pic enclosed... The last couple of days were a little cooler and it seemed the rut was starting to fire up really well. I had a huge 10pt work does into within 60yds of my setup 2 different times on Friday and the last time he came in he was doing alot of grunting and even snort/wheezed a couple times (pretty neat). The last 2 days I saw 5 shooter bucks out of that stand but just didn't get one to come the extra distance. Well I'm thinking about skipping our firearms opener here in MO this coming weekend and head back up there and give it another try. We'll see...Good luck to everyone still hunting....
