Thanks SouthDakota.. I amhappy you read it.
Yeah... sometimes you don't want to listen to that inner person, but without him I would probably not have hadthe shot. Funny thing is I was originally going to leave itout ofthe story.. but my wife said it was an important piece and I should leave it in for sure.
Thanks again.

GGNY - sweet!!! You rock - way to keep at it! Can't wait to see the pics!!
Duke - amazing how that 'inner voice' works...The morning I shot my deer at the last minute going down the highway I had a gut feeling to sit my location that is my 'traditionaly' my evening stand... Again - great read - glad you left that piece in!
I'm a little bit bummed out tonight
. I was rifle hunting this eveningand missed a great buck... I was walking a little grassy ravine and just as I got to the bottom he jumped from the rim... Hewas only about about 30 - 40yardsaway when he busted - I was ready and was able to get a quick shot off - but that was it. By the time I got to the top edge where I could see - he vanished..... Those ones sting - I'll be replaying the whole scenario in my heads for weeks... If there is silver lining to the whole thing is that I think I found another good location to hang a stand for archery season next year - just about 75 yards to the south there are a couple of trees and a lot of sign. I've only really hunted this field with the rifle - but I think there could be some potential to archery hunt next year. A guy can never have to many choices.....

I just got back from the nine day gun season I saw 7 Deer only 1 buck a small spike. We had 9 people out hunting and not 1 shot fired. The bucks seemed to have the does locked down and nothing was moving. It sucked it was the worst gun season I ever had. Late bow season starts next week and goes until Janurary sometime. I make it out for that.
ORIGINAL: quiksilver
130 - I'm happy with the way this season went. I wound up killing 2 of the nicest bucks I had in range. I really wanted a PY class deer, but in the areas in PA where I hunt, deer of that caliber aren't exactly behind every tree. So, I have to temper my expectations accordingly. Next year, I'll raise the bar a notch in Ohio. I have no doubt that I can do better if I put in the time. Hey man, good luck if you get out in the late season with the wife. U get a lot of gun season pressure on your property, or is it pretty quiet? Around here, every deer in the entire state is totally shell-shocked after gun season.
LMAO Women.....

Well guys we're close!! Looks like team 29 nailed another one though - which will put them over 700... Looks like someone else is still going to have to connect. Stay after it guys!!!! We should still only be no more than 50 points or so off the lead...
