Went out last night and only saw two deer out in the distance. Didn't go this morning because I haven't slept well all week and this is the only day I get to sleep in. With not feeling to well last night I took advantage of it and slept for 10 hours. Now just have two classes this afternoon then going to KFC and then to the treestand, Have been hearing reports of pre rut chasing and big bucks on their feet so these next two weeks should be stellar.

The sits are finally starting to be really nice. Had this doe at 15 yards, Could have smoked her. Buying more doe tags tomorrow. Also had three bucks. Two that were just 2.5 year olds the third I couldn't get a good look at. Then had 4 does including this one. I'm on the does now just waiting for the bucks to show.

Heading to Mexico for the next 10 days for my wedding guys. Good luck to all and once I get back, it will be on. My buddy checked two cameras the other day and we had a good amount of bucks. A 140" 8 point that disappeared for a while but is back and a new 155" 11 pointer. We still have another 8 cameras out that haven't been checked in over a month so we should have some good pics on those! Good luck guys and I'll get some points on the board in November!

On another note I got another doe tag today and tonight I missed low on doezilla I judged her at 50 but she must have been closer to 55. Going to the alfalfa field in the morning

Well, I hunted in Kentucky this weekend. Muzzleloader season opened there yesterday so I had my TC Encore with me and look what showed up at 50 yards. I'm no expert, but this deer was rutting. His stomach was empty, he stunk something fierce and he was chasing a doe when I shot him. Seems a little strange for mid-October, don't you think?
Sorry it's not points for the team, guys.

Well it had been slow the last two nights. However I met the guy who hunts next to me for the first time in the few years I've hunted here. Saw his flashlight looking around so i drove aroubd to see if he needed help. He had his kids out tonight Abd his boy missed. He sermed like a great guy and seemed we have the same goals for the herd.

Spitting snow today. Will be hitting it pretty hard from now on. Took this pic yesterday at 20 yds. of this guy. He "KNEW" we only had a camera.. He would get a pass anyway as do ALL Does from me.. Good luck everyone-it's just going to get better. All the crops out as of this weejend in my hunting area.
