Pope94,
Sorry to hear you couldn't find that big 10. Seven guys can definitely cover a lot of ground. Could you tell where you hit him?
Don't give up there still time to get another one.
Our rifle season started today here in PA. I only saw does and fawns. I think a buck came in at last light because I heard a lot of chasing but it was to dark to see what it was. Good luck guys.

Sorry you didn't get that Buck. For those who have connected-congratulations. Gunners start tomorrow so looks like I'll be freezin my Buns after that. I never give up till the season is over. I have passed on does & a couple small bucks...

Do you guys remember that 16 pointer I told you that I saw? Well my grandpa shot that this morning for shotgun season.. But i miscounted on points.. It was just a 12. But I scored it at 172.5.

Andrew,
Glad to hear your grandfather got a nice buck. That's a Good Buck. Most of us will hunt all our lives trying to get a buck like that. Glad to hear he was able. Do you have any pictures of it other than the trail cam pics?
Scott

Well that trail cam pic was of that big 10 pointer that I shot. This buck is differant. I saw this 12 pointer early this year but couldn't get a shot.

Here are some pics..

That's a very cool looking buck. Sure wish it had been you with the bow but I'm still happy for your grandfather.
Scott

Yeah I wish it could have been too..

I got some good and bad news for you guys...

The good news is that my grandpa saw the big 10 I shot two days in a row during shotgun season so he's still alive.

The bad news is that he is moving real slowly. Hopefully he can make it through the season. I hate wounding deer but it happend so now all I can hope is that he makes it and gets bigger next year.

Well, it appears we have dropped to fourth place. We would need at least 2 more decent entries to be close to winning this contest.
Is anybody still bowhunting? Good Luck if you are.
Our 2nd season doesn't come in until after Christmas.

I will be, gunners done this weekend. I have seen one not busted up & sporting a good rack if he can just stay hidden near my area. Mid Jan ends for me.

Could have shot a 8 tonight-well 7 now-broken off point. i've seen him at least 5 times within Bow range.
