Default RE: Offical Team 17 thread

I did manage to swing a hunt in KY yesterday afternoon. Had a great evening, once the wind died down. I saw 8 does, none of which presented a shot (and truthfully, for me, its still way to warm to shoot for the freezer just yet). Right at dark, my new buddy "Peyton Manning" showed up. Peyton is probably a 2.5 year old 8 point that already will go around 115-120 inches. He's 2 inches past the ears and has a long main beam. Anyhow, Peyton showed up about 150 yards away from me and walked right at me, turned broadside at 20 feet and fed for about 5 minutes. It was a great hunt. I also had a 7 pointer that's really young, mess around me for about 15 minutes. It was a great night to be in a tree and finally see a little more typical deer behavior. I wish fall would hurry up and get here. It was 87 degrees when I headed out to the stand. Hope you guys have a good weekend.
