Mizouhunter,
Welcome aboard. I'm new to this contest as well. I usualy don't see any bucks in the area I hunt until the rut. They took all the farm land around me and turned it into forest preserve. Most people would think thats great but it realy screwed up the deer patterning for me. Now the deer have to go about 1 mile from me to get to any kind of ag food. I am going to take a couple of does first thing this year. Way too many around here and nobody else shoots them. Good luck and keep the pictures comming.
