I took 4 does and waited . . . and waited . . . and waited . . . for a big buck to show himself. I saw plenty of smaller bucks small basket 8 points and smaller. I took off 3 weeks just to kill a big buck, but the weather NEVER cooperated. It was hot and/or windy the ENTIRE time. I return to work tonight . . . and the temps are supposed to go down by 40 degrees beginning tomorrow![:@]
