Name fine with me. Already took a buck in velvet and I'm working on my second tag. Have found some time though to soot a couple of geese last Sat.

rut busters sounds good to me. archery starts 10/4, ML'er starts 11/1, and rifle starts 11/15 and runs through the first saturday in january here in VA. In PA, I'll be hunting the week after thanksgiving with a rifle and then the week after christmas with the flinter.

I haven't got any big bucks on the cameras this year, but last year I shot a main frame 8 with a few stickers that went about 118" (my biggest) the guy on the farm next door shot a main frame 11 with 14 scorable points. There's some big deer where I hunt, we'll see how it goes.

Good luck to those who are already hunting.

I've posted this pic already but here it is again. Little guy but I've never taken one in velvet before.

Bow doesn't start here until 10/13. I will try to get out in CT prior to that.
I actually spend more time bow hunting than gun hunting...

whitetaildreamer,

That's awesome, congratulations. Unfortunately where I hunt we don't have an opportunity to harvest bucks with velvet.
