To be honest... I just haven' t hunted much this year. I hunted 55-60 days each of the past 2 years. I started on crop damage in July and probably don' t have more than a dozen hunts in this year. Right now I' m nursing a cold picked up in NY. If I were healthy I would have been hitting it hard the past couple days. The time is getting right. Good time to do some horn tinkling etc.

Plus, I think a lot of folks just don' t post all their hunts right now. Take my hunting partner. He' s on these boards, usually the technical section. The last I knew he had taken 11 or 12 deer with the bow this year. I don' t think he' s posted a single one.
