Well boys I'm back as well. Overall the weather was very warm & windy and the hunting pressure got brutal. As I walked to my stand the first day I almost tripped on 2 other guy's and found another one in a tree 10 feet from my stand. Needless to say I was pissed[:@]but managed to sneak up on a buck but passed. The guy shot a 4x4 directly under my stand that morning and another 5x5 ran away. We really didn't see much in the way of big bucks. On Sat. I ended up passing on a few small bucks and decided on taking this guy. Not the biggest buck but it's my first non-typ. so I really liked him. Later in the day I pushed out this 5x5 whitetail for my cousin. I passed up on a w.t. buck last week because I couln't tell how big he was and the rest is history. Too warm and alot of wind! I think I'm done for the season as the temps look to be hot the rest of the week and my taxidermy bill is close to a grand. Oh well next year I'll look for a big Whitetail as my mulie tag will be another4 year wait. Pics to follow.

Skeeter great buck!! I'd guess 140-150 for sure maybe into the 160's.

Early, I'm glad you had a blast...it sucks to hold out and come up empty but that's the way she goes up here. I'm still debating on the wt I passed up but you gotta do it sometimes and it keeps the fires burning for next season.
