Congrats Art! looks like our team has quite a few does down, now we just need the bucks to follow!
I'm hoping that i might be able to sneak out an am or two next week but no guarantees. This is a busy fall for me as my wife & I are closing on our first house next week and I'm heading to Montana for a rifle hunt at the end of this month. Kills me not being in the woods as much as I'd like but that's life I guess.
Good luck to everyone going out soon! Anyone have trailcam pics to share??

ha! I've had a few of those myself.
These aren't recent but a few pics from September. Not sure if I've posted any of them before or not. My dad got one of the 10pts we were getting a lot of pictures of this summer/early fall. Haven't done a measurement yet but was 17.5" wide, 2 g3's were over 9 inches. Had a bunch of pics of him the week before he shot him, even the night before if i recall correctly.
This is the buck my dad shot:

Same here Grizzly - I'm closing on first house Friday so between that and work there aren't enough hours in the day much less days in the week. Still hoping to get out pre-rut in the am sometime soon.
Damn Rack at least you had a chance, hopefully you'll see him or another again. Lots of time left. Is your peep one woven into the string or connected with the rubber tubing?

Finally heading out in a little over an hour for the lease. I'm tempted to shut down my computer until then to keep from having any last minute surprises. I had to pack a couple of orange vests and hats because the last two days of my hunt bleed over into muzzleloader season in Arkansas (starts 10/20). I really hate archery hunting with orange on.

I got out for a couple of hours this afternoon. Saw absolutely nothing. after climbing down I finally heard one moving through the woods while packing up the climber. As I drove out of the driveway of the property a small 8 poienter crossed in front of my truck and hung out in the front yard of the house next door. Passed another as I turned onto the road. Seems they are moving late. Oh well.

Woven in string.
Kicked him up the next day on way to stand. Beautiful Buck and I wouldn't be surprised if He was 4 years old. Biggest bodied Buck I've ever seen.
