10 stands to hang Mike? We only have a few weeks before the season!![8D]

The unofficial word that I have heard is that in MA you need to clear out any "bait" 2 weeks before the season. I have never seen that in writing but the NBEF course instructors backed up that info.

I have two stands set so far with one more site picked out and two more to go. The main property Im hunting is new to me and has about 4 or 5 other hunters on it but they all "seem" to be setting up right on the field edges while I like to be back in the timber more.

I dont know if Ill be holding out for a true PB, but I think Ive decided to try to let anything smaller than a "good" six walk and focus on taking a fat doe or two (which the landowner would really appreciate anyhow). As it is, if the does are there, the bucks will be soon too!

I just got me an itchy trigger finger though. I don't know what will happen if a forky or a little basket six shows up. Im getting the shakes already!
