A huge CONGRATS to you 130woodman on your buck! Awesome! Don't ever be dissappointed after taking any animal by bow.

I've been hunting hard. This season has just been tough for me. Alot of rainfall has kept the deer out of there typical bedding areas. They are just not bedding on my lands at the moment. Seen some solid deer.. but all before or after legal shooting light as they have to travel a great distance to get to me. Very tough conditions!

I am matching wits with a real good buck but his movements have been mostly at nightfall. I just need a little daytime movement to have the chance. Right now he's just a set of tracks.. some real good rubs.. a few scrapes.. and a superb sense of 'how to pick a unhuntable spot to bed'.

The story for me has been bucks just out of range.. after shooting light.. or need a earn-a-buck tag. I will get my buck this season.. it's a chess game and I think I'm making all the right moves.. I just need a wrong one by the other guy.
