Just checking in....Like I said, I didn't get to hunt last week but since most of the family functions and commitments are done, I will be spending more time in the woods starting this weekend. I'm heading south (Hardin County) in hopes of getting a shot at a nice buck. I haven't scouted this area much (only to set up stand locations) but I knowthe land pretty good as I've been hunting it now for over 13 years. While there aren't as many bruisers down there as there are up here (northern part of the state) I have killed some pretty nice bucks (mid 140's)they're just fewer and farther between. Sometimes it takes a few hunts and some last minute stand changes to get on them.

So we will see what comes of it. Hopefully I will connect, if not there is still plenty of time, heck the rut hasn't even started yet.

later guys.....
