AWESOME deer man....a big congratulations. Can't wait to see the score on that dude.
I hunted all day today and saw ZERO deer during daylight. I got into my stand well before daylight and sat there strapped in with my harness falling in and out of sleep. I heard some leaves rustling and could see the shape of a deer in front of me and the awful musky buck smell greeted my nose. He stuck around for about 20 minutes before moving off. Never got a look at him, just know he had some antlers and he stunk bad. I rattled and grunted at first light but no response. I had highs reach 80 today so I was focusing on water. Aftenroon hunt provided no action.
I will try to get out for an afternoon hunt on Tuesday if I get to the house in time.

Nice buck man!
I had my closest opportunities this weekend. Friday I had my 1st legal buck (average 8 point)come in 10 mins after I hit the primos buck roar. I am thinking I might have actually called it in; however not sure. He came in and I got to full draw and he busted me.
Saturday morning I saw 2 small bucks and a few doe. Then Saturday evening I had deer all around me the whole time I was there. A 4 point was chasing a doe around. At last light I had another legal buck (bearly legal. 6pt, 4 on one side and 2 on the other) come by and it busted me when i drew. I need to be more careful drawing now. Since I can not get out hunting as much now I plan on taking what ever I can get. The rut is just starting here in PA so hopefully the big boys start chasing.

That's a nice buck your friend got there blake...and one hell of a first buck.
Just a little bit of history with me and killing bucks.
6years ago I killed what was then my largest archery buck on November 6th. I then did not harvest a buck the next year with my bow and the following year I beat my own record on November 7th. Then once again, I did not get a year in 05 and in 06, 2 years after my last buck, I show my personal best that year and on November 8th. Well as some may know I did not harvest a buck last year and well it only makes logical sense that I will shoot my best buck on November 9th this year lol. I won't be able to hunt that morning but I will be in a stand that afternoon.
