Mine was the best ever! Unfortunately (and I use that word loosly) I killed my buck early in the rut so I wasn't in the woods much when they were chasing and so forth, but even prior to my shooting mine it was awesome.

I saw bucks up cruising late in October (prior to this year, I've rarely see a buck before November), and even a couple of them were mature. Some were in bow range and I elected not to shoot them....I had a great rut this year.....already looking forward to next year.
