Gotta say, i 've seen MORE and BIGGER bucks this year alone than in the past 5 years COMBINED. Have not connected yet, but as long as i'm seeing deer i'm happy. Passed on A LOT of bucks this year that i normally would have shot, but i'm sharing the woods with my 2 oldest boys now, so i've been behavin! They're makin me soft, i want to see them get a shot a buck, you know? A really good season no matter what!
