I'm not sure how many hours I put in but I know it was 53 days. Killed a decent 130 class 8 pointer November 7th. On the 10th of Nov. got busted by a nice 160 class 12 point and spent every day out after that playing cat and mouse, saw him several times but never on the right stand at the right time. Passed on a nice 140 class 9 pointer over a dozen times waiting for the 12 pointer.
