I killed a doe last Thursday, other than that, its been slow. I've logged 40hrs in a tree so far with only 9 sightings. October is always the slowest month down south, so I'm not discouraged yet.
You midwest boys need to start laying down the wood over the next few weeks!

Still nothing here. I've been seeing does but haven't seen any horn yet. I've talked to quite a few people who say the ruts kicking in so hopefully soon i'll see some bone. We got 5" of snow today with temps holding around 30 it made for a nice sit tonight. We're due to score some bone here real soon. Good luck boys!

BBD!![/align][/align]Well I got into my stand early today, but the cows were not far behind me. I was only in my stand for about 15 mins. and the cows showed up. They hung around until about 10 after 8. Around 7:30 I did have a small buck come through well out of range and with cows under my stand he was moving through fast. Once the cows finally left it was quiet and calm and I could finally start enjoying the morning. At 8:45 I saw three deer up on the ridge, I knew the way they were headed they were going to come down and cross the creek and possible come into range. As they were moving across the ridge I could see they were three large deer but I didn't see any racks, just thought they were some big does. I herd them cross the creek and then I saw him, my first thought was hes a shooter. I took a second to take a look behind him just to see what was with him, they were (2) 1-1/2 year old bucks. So the big boy comes in picture perfect. I stopped him at 25 yards and made a good hit. He went about 100 to 125 yards. I got one lung really good and just barely hit the other one. He was just slightly quartering to me. I am truely blessed. The lord has blessed me with four great season in a row now.



I scored him at 149-3/4". He would have been just over 150 if his G4 on the left wasn't broke. [/align]
