Thanks Chucker--if I do go I would hike in deep and try to find some less pressured deer during bow season. I appreciate your advice on the thermals, it is something I would take seriously.
hubby11--the biggest 8 pointer I have ever seen was in Clifton. I was driving to work in Fairfax and driving down some backroads in Clifton and saw him......unreal buck. Probably a 22-24 inch spread and MASS. It was a monster buck for anywhere in the country.
