Well guys, the buck I dropped yesterday morning turned out to be a LOT smaller than I thought he was. I've never been a trophy hunter and I'm thrilled to have taken my second buck with a bow, but this bucks body was so small that it made his rack look decent from 20 feet up. 77 2/8" for the team. Sorry it wasn't more.

No need to apologize LC! congrats on the buck and getting us started.
Sat morning, I had a buck with some nice bone pass 15 yds away headed towards his bedding area, but 5 min before legal shooting time. There wasn't enough light to shoot even at legal time. I sat there in the afternoon, and a big shooter 8 came by and pushed 5 does and fawns, but never presented a clear shot.
Ruby is keeping me busy - found a gut-shot doe Sunday, and lost a gut-shot(?) buck tonight for other hunters...

Great buck LC! No need to apologize! Way to get us on the board!!!
I went out last night had a buck chasing a doe in the thickets behind me but he never appeared. It's getting good out there! I'm headed down to Andy's on Friday for a hunt then I'll try to be in the tree all day sat and sunday. I'm gonna get a lot of stand time in the next two weeks! Exciting!
I updated our total score on the first page so you guys can keep track...

Ed and I are postponing our planned Friday get together - nasty weather and scheduling. I have been getting pics of new bucks passing thru, a good rut indicator.
I am hearing from friends that it's mostly the youngsters that are out and about (but not all are young...
) .

Guys
I hit a nice non-typical this afternoon, but my dog was not up to snuff. We did a combination Ruby-track and sight-track for about 600 yds when the trail started to get sparse, 50 yds btw blood drops. Ruby would track for a while, and then go veering off (possible on other deer tracks) - a bit frustrating when you can look at the blood and know she's off on a tangent. I think the buck would score comfortable in the high 130's, but I'll never know unless I find him tomorrow morning.

Aww! good luck Andy, hope you find him!
I went out this morning but all I did was scare deer as I walked in, shoulda stayed out of there. Heading back out now, hopefully if that deer comes by he takes the same path, I'm adjusting my stand about 80yds...
