Same here in Arkansas, are gun season opened the 12th and I took the first week of the season off, saw nothing button bucks and spikes and 4pts. It was really a bad week of hunting. Last sunday I took a 15 inch 8pt, thats the first decient buck that I have seen since the season opened. I have been hunting several different stand locations and i have pics of some really nice bucks on my game cams, but they have been making themselves scarce to me this year. I'm kinda at a loss about where and how to hunt them now.
