Muckland, congrats on the buck and that 10 point is a beauty that's too bad.
Hoosier, good luck getting on one of those big boys.
Well guys I went out to a spot this weekend to set up some stands for late season. This is a spot that a buddy of mine has permission on and said he would take me to if I helped him get set up. So, we set him up on a nice funnel on the field edge. He has great cover and is really in a great spot. I found a tree to get up in for myself that is in a good spot too. There are several converging trails that looks like motorcycle paths in the woods. There is a ton of good sign and several trees the size of my thigh that were shredded up. The best sign was the number of deer we saw. We saw a big buck and a doe right as we pulled in, two little bucks chasing a doe out in the field, another big buck crossing the field and 4 other does all while we were stomping around sawing branches, talking, and generally not being stealthy. We will be out of that spot for at least 2 weeks before hunting it. We will both be hunting other spots for the gun opener, and will be back in there with our bows. Nobody else hunts it (very rare in PA) so we have a good shot at taking a nice buck out of there.
Good luck to everyone (except Hunsucker, he's got enough luck already)
