GR8....that might just be it! lol...he better buy a record book buck and tie it up to my tree stand tree for me!!

i agree Germ...though you got alot more years under your belt ive already learned scrapes can me ALOT or nothing. funny thing is i find more in the woods then field edges. guess they are kinda one of them things...be there at the right time and youll score..

that scrape dripper i put up this year really crushed me. there was like 6 scrapes in the immediate area..scent free as could be..AND it was raining hard the day i hung it. snuck in there, hung it and snuck out. buck abondoned all the scrapes...

this coming fall im going to buy R E A L deer urine bottled from SINGLE deer on a private farm. im going to make my own scrape concoction for the drippers...i think if anything will work that something like that will work best.

im excited for next year...and the snow fall that we lack. if nothing else my first year was a success. i dont know many other people that get a chance to shoot a 2.5yo(mature for pa...equivilent to a 6.5yo most other states) buck their first year. i learned alot...enjoyed being part of a great team...snow fall will help me scout for next year...and i learned alot and will be a better hunter next fall. right now i cant get at the deer. people dont like ya in their back yard hunting from their kids tree house...thats where the deer went..as they do every year.

next week is it for me boys...gunna keep shootin all year...gunna keep scouting, planning, knocking on doors and keeping my head up...its been a long while since i went deerless..wait..have i EVER went deerless??

hopefully the rain lets up. i found a spot behind my house i want to sneak into. 2 hard core trails coming through behind a highschool. dont know why i didnt look back their earlier. hopefully the school is cleared out and the rain lets up and i can sneak in there...its legal...just dont like people seeing me and such..already got my tree picked out...150yd walk down a ATV trail and im climbing!
