I hope so.. I still have 4 more doe tags and the one area I am looking at has a 15:1 doe to buck ratio. My buddy rile1564 connected on a nice 8 yesterday morning in our spot.. He is in team 28 the left overs.. Kudos to him!

Hey boys, went out yesterday and didnt see a deer, saw 2 small bucks on monday nite tho. Just got back from moving one of my stands, i'll prob let it set a week before hunting it, lots of good sign, i cant believe that i didnt hang it there in the first place. Well, we finally got some cooler weather moving in and hopefully the big boys will start to show up. I know they are there but are hanging out in the woods til after dark, I cant move my stand in the woods more than 20 yds from the field I hunt due to property lines so I just gotta wait it out. Good luck everyone.

Well gentlemen, I am off to southern Illinois for the weekend. I'll be hunting corn fed giants all weekend.. hopefully one will present a shot!
Have had a horrid year thus far. Worst for me in about 6 years! While in stand I have only seen 6 deer, 9 coyote. There are now 3 less coyotes in the state because of me..!
good luck..gang.

I missed a dandy last night.. He came out right at dusk into field. I took a shot and let it go... I heard Thwack.. I saw the buck stumble.. I couldnt find my arrow or blood.. I went out this morning and nothing.. The buck stumbled because i scared the crap out of him with that arrow. It was in the mud and the back of the shaft must have hit him. the ground was beyond saturated. I walked over and sank in.. So I think he sank in as well.

Well guys i decided to hunt from the ground today, had a 4 point come out about 15 yds from me. He never knew i was there, he just casually went about his business. About 20 minutes after the buck left the field 2 yearlings came out about 10 yds upwind from me. One of them walked straight to me and ended up getting about 4 ft. from me. I was crouched down next to some bushes but she couldnt quite make me out, I just wanted to reach out and flick her on the nose!! I tell ya what, it was one of the coolest experiences i've ever had while hunting. ASAT really does work like they say
Good luck guys, I should get out quite abit this upcoming week, so im pretty pumped.

Well boys i was out checking my 2 new spots I secured this year and bango,all around my 5 new stand placements are rubs and scrapes galore. I start holidays Wednesday morning and will start hunting from sun up to sun down daily for 10 days straight I'll will only shoot something 150 or better, and don't worry ,their lots to go around. Thats just my luck from where I am that I can be so choosey,so don't get down on me cause I won't shoot a smaller one. I'll have one posted beforenext week's out. God Bless and wear those safety belts.
