Great buck npaden...good luck with him! I wish we had bucks like that around here, but a 140 is probably 1 in a million, unfortunately. I'm hoping to get that 1 though - every year I hold that hope.

I haven't seen anything worth shooting yet, but I'm sure I'll bump into one sooner or later. Went out yesterday to mark my property lines like I do every year (paint/posted signs) and didn't see anything. Lots of acorns - major bumper crop this year. Not sure if that will end up hurting us or not. They certainly don't have to search for food. Didn't see even 1 rub, which was a little discouraging as I walked about a mile and a half - but I typically don't start seeing many rubs until Nov. M/L opens Nov 3rd, so hopefully things will begin to heat up by then. First two weeks of Nov have traditionally been very good here. I guess we'll see.
