I got out to state game lands and saw a few doe. No buck however, saw two or three good areas where one was lurking. One of the areas had awesome rubs but....just never saw him.

That is what bugs me the most. Knowing there is a very good buck in the area and never laying eyes on it. Since it is public land, good chance he gets taken. Never know. Maybe he will be taken by me the first time I see him!

Heard from other folks who we hunt with that they saw lots of bucks but, only one legal shooter. That is not saying much but, at the same time, the monster can come out of the bush at any time.
