well, good luck to you pal - sitting in a tree stand is a nice way to contemplate about it all...

I had two basket 8 ptrs at 15 yds last night. A trick I use to hold deer along a path this time of year is to place a small pruned tree limb w/green leaves (red maple) in the lane. It caught the attention of both bucks who gave me quartering away, leg forward, "shoot-me" presentations; they stopped to nibble one or two leaves before moving on...BTW, I use a loper so I never have to touch the limb.
My partner was only 80 yds away from me, and had the big 20" 8 ptr near his stand that I mentioned in my last post - almost!, but the big buck passed where there was no clear shot. Leaving shortly to join up with him... good luck all...
