RE: The buck I was after is dead
Cooter that was a dandy buck your neighbor got, but like the saying goes "There's always somebody bigger and badder out there" that will be the one you'll get.
Rammer I know the feeling, I've been eating tag soup for too many years now. Themdeer you have there would do just fine. Good luck with them.
Well I hunted Wed. morning and evening, and then again this morning, nothing. I kicked one up on the way in this morning. I've sat six stands so far and have yet to see a deer. (excuse here) I'm blaming the full moon and heat, I'm seeing plenty of fresh sign, so I know they are around. Come on cooler weather.
Hey just a reminder eveyone be safe out there! A guy I know who lives on the next street over from mine fell out of his stand last week. Broke three vertebres in his neck, he had surgery on Friday. I heard he was able to take some steps today. Very lucky.
