Well have been busy with college and hockey, but did manage to make it out to 2 farms that i will be hunting this year. One is a 250 acre farm that has one major field that is planted in small pines, at the bottom of the hill is some pears and apples and a small spring, i think the early weeks im going to setup there. The other is well over 400 acres and is mainly fields planted with soy, this is one of my better chances for a big guy while at school. When i go home on free weekends i will be hunting some of the suburbs in allegheny and westmoreland counties in SW PA by pittsburgh.... we have some absolute pigs around those areas...

I will be shooting a Hoyt viper tech compound

I plan on shooting a buck that i will put on the wall, so over 120" atleast til late in the season and or gun season....

I am just hoping to see some colder temps this yr for the season and hopefully more rutting activity, last year they started to scrape then it got very warm and seemed to slow everything down and didnt see any chasing at all, just some roaming for a day or 2.... the funny thing is i was hunting the same stand where in yrs past i was seeing sometimes 7 different bucks a day running does...
