Hunted 12 hrs in the stand yesterday, saw 3 buck before 12. Two 4's and a pretty nice 7. All were within 20 yards. The 7 was not quite big enough. Did not see a single deer after 12.

Dave

Out on Saturday morning saw a buck called claw, OK 8. Let him walk and didn't have a great shot anyways. Out of tree at 10 done for the day.

Ryan,

Good luck hunting in Ohio. It was cold and wet on Friday!!!

Congrats Wayne and Josh. I am currently laid up at home with nasty virus. Hoping to get back out by wendsday. Blew an opportunity at a nice 140's ten thursday am. I never noticed all the branches in the way till my arrow deflected off one. Hurts cause if I would of just waited he was coming right in behind me and I would of had a chip shot.

Went all day Saturday, no luck didn't see a single deer. Sounds like everyone's getting chances at least, so thats a good thing, gotta take the good with the bad boys!!

Have a decent one on the ground. In the woods have about an hour drag.

Looks like he's going to score around 130

I feel good that I finally scored. Looks like he going to score at 130 3/8". Took me longer than I thought to get him out of the woods (2 hours). Probably because Im getting older, took my time. Had to cross a pretty good size creek to get him out, probably 4' deep were I crossed. I thought you might like the last picture of me floating the deer across the creek. (I didn't mention to get to this hunting spot I need to wear chest waders)

Don,

Hopefully you will get another shot at the deer you missed. I had a similiar thing happen to me this year.

Dave,
I'm glad to see you scored a real good one. The anticipation was killing me yesterday, awesome pictures by the way, I'm pumped for you you seem to hit the rut real good every year in your area also.

Ryan.

Forgot to ask, how old do you think he is?

Ryan.
