Looks like I'm going out tomorrow morning. Can't wait! Looks like it's probably going to dip into the upper30's with minimal wind-should be a good morning to be out.

RE: Official Team 13 Thread (Returning Champs) The Dark Horses.
Was a good hunt this morning. Had a doe and fawn come in at about 8 yards. Was a good 'wake up' for the rest of the season. They came in behind me and didn't make a noise. It wasn't until she started to go past my line of site on the left that I saw movement and noticed the doe - and at that point she was starting to get close to being down wind and seemed more on edge.
She looked away and I grabbed my bow and then a few seconds later she walked into the trees, so if it would have been a buck, I don't think I would have had a shot.
Anyone heard from Fran?

Monday morning was the last I heard from Fran. New jobs got him tied up maybe.
The neighbors wife shot an 8 point last night. As of 9 a.m. they still didn't find it. He was still on the blood 300+ yards from the shot. I'll let you guy's know how it turns out.

Sup fellas - just checking in!
I put a ton of stand-time in last week, and still haven't seen an antlered-deer. 17 does at last count. All in different areas, so it wasn't like I was hanging over the same doe family for six days straight.
I scouted some new areas, got into a bit of buck sign - but I continue to battle the lack of acorns in my hunting ranges.
The new job is a bear. Working constantly, commute is a PITA - but in this job market - I'm thankful just to have a job that pays pretty well. Y'all know the story. I'm busting my balls to try to put together a few off-days once November rolls around. Pay it forward.
Danno - big congrats on the buck bro. You were happier than a pig in new mud when you called. That's what it's all about, fellas.
Dukie? Any follow-up on today's text?

Yes.. yes.. buck down.
Not a giant in the antler size.. but I hunt for maturity and he had it.
Typical swamp buck.. they get poor nutrition living in these giant bogs I hunt.. including him. But he's all mine and I couldn't be prouder.
