Hate that you couldn't get what you wanted in range. Good luck if you head back this weekend. I got to do some dove hunting today...not quite as exciting.

Sounds like you have a great piece of property there, Ray. I'm jealous of all of you guys. Did some scouting yesterday and saw maybe 4 deer total. Couldn't see any head gear at all, but 1 was a doe for sure. Didn't get a good look at the others, but there were a couple of big bodied deer anyway. Oh well, I'm looking for some meat anyways, so I'm anxiously awaiting 9/15.

Out doing some of my last minute scouting before the season starts on the 26th and I yet again watched the droptine 10 pt. He is a dandy, and would be my best buck ever if I got him! Velvet is off and he is easily in the 120's, maybe pushing 130"! At this point, my biggest buck is a 107" 7 pt. that I got in '07. Got a small basket 8 last year, but that aint gonna cut it this year! You going back to KY this weekend, Ray?

Now that Rob is back from his pronghorn hunt and a lot of seasons opening up maybe we'll be seeing an alternate for jklinger. Thanks for keeping Rob posted on the no-show Bible Man. The wife and I just had some backstrap and bacon I was saving from last season. It was one of the best meals we've had in a long time. Gives me some serious incentive to get out there next week and bring home some venison.

Well I did a little sept doe control today. Smoked one in KY at 43 yrds. Hunted Friday night also. Passed a nice 2/1/2 year old mid 120's 8 point both hunts. I got some good video of him I'll post after work tomarrow. Probably seen over 60 deer in the 2 evening hunts. Cant wait until the Oct youth hunt to thin the doe down.
