I had an awesome archery season.Killed three doe and a a nice 7 point.Two days after I killed the 7point,I had a slammer of an 8 point 24 yards from me.He stood around for 12 minutes and never knew I was there.I put a couple of my buddies on that bench and the buck was never seen again.Friday afternoon however,a buddy of mine came up from Johnstown and killed a 19 3/4 inch 8 point on that same bench.This year was pretty typical for me.I had deer sighting a little more than 50% of the time.I didn't see a ton of deer from my standsbut they're tough to pattern in this part of the state.

Last week I was at one of the largest taxidermy studios in this part of the state.They were 10 bucks ahead of last year as of last monday and already had about 100 bucks in.Many were huge.
