Not sure on the points, thats the best photo I have of him... I think he may be a main frame 10?!?, or like you said FSH 11 (5 x 6). His left side looks like it's got one more tine than the right, but it could just be the angle, I hope to get better photos soon... I'm so pumped now!
Unfortunately I moved my camera about 400 yrds before I saw this pic, I hope it helps me pin-point its travel route. But I think I went the wrong direction.. However this is on a farm that doesn't get much bowhunting pressure, but is gun hunted heavily. I hope to nail him before the early muzzle loader, i didnt expect much out of that farm this year cause we had a huge blue tounge/EHD kill 2 yrs ago (80% of herd), and the deer are just starting to make a comeback there, so its a nice bonus! Thankfully all the deer look healthy this year!

It pangs me to think of crabs, we used to chicken-neck a lot. I ended up in the emergency room twice ~8 yrs ago because of "Old Bay" seasoning. First time I thought it was crabs, the second time I found out it was the seasoning when I ate fish. I can still eat crabs, but it's just not the same without "Old Bay", so I do without...
Saturday, I'll be teaching the MD Hunter Safety Class. We have 35 students, about 1/4 of them female - a trend that bodes well for the future of hunting.
We had a good dove hunt on my farm opening day and I'll be out there Monday afternoon gunning for another dinner, ummmmm. I've eaten just about every game meat from caribou to bear, and dove is at the top of the list .
Good luck with the crabbing
, and shake the cobwebs off that bow 
.

Thanks FSH, I'll be sure to do plenty of shooting. I've been shooting my same setup for 5 yrs now, and when I shot about 2 weeks ago I was getting 6" groups at 50yds, so I still feel plenty confident, considering I dont shoot much past 35 on game. I still need the practice!
If your still interested in getting together for a hunt one weekend let me know. I usually get every other friday off, so I could come down on a thurs eve. to hunt friday. I'd love to try out other parts of the state, and you'd be welcome in my neck of the woods.

Ed good luck on the crabs sounds really good to me I love seafood. I have been shooting the boe quite a bit and the groups just get tighter which is good. I went out to the woods yesterday and put up a 22 foot ladder stand and have to go back and move another stand to a diffrent location but I am excited to say the least. I also have to get out in a diffrernt patch of woods to get everything ready there alot of work left to do and the time is going quick.
I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend.
