Well guys, I got some good news.... today I decided to move my Cuddeback and set it on the trail that leads to my new stand I set-up a few weeks ago. The trail I set it on is being HEAVILY used as it crosses small swamps and heads along the edge of a crab apple thicket where my hang-on is set-up. There were some big tracks in the area and everything looked great so I put the camera on a tree and went to my stand. When I climbed up and sat down I saw a fresh rub right in one of my shooting lanes about 25 yards out. I got down and when we went to check it out we found a bunch of rubs in the area including one on a tree about 2" around that the deer had actually bent the tree down by rubbing. There were several smaller trees that were either snapped off or bent from this buck rubbing his antlers. This spot is looking very promising and I am anxious to see what I get on camera. I will check it next Sunday.

Also, we got another nice 8 point on camera along with a pretty decent 10 point at one of the other farms we hunt. The bucks all shed velvet and things are really looking good for this season!
