Passed on a 2.5 year old 8 this morning that was chasing a doe. He was a little bigger than the two I passed in October. I didn’t think he was that big on the way in and then when he was in range, 18 yards, he looked a little better but not good enough this early in the rut. Might have been a mistake being that I am hunting public property, but I’ll take my chances. Was planning to take most if not all of the week off, but we have a nor’easter rolling in for the middle of the week. Hopefully we get some decent weather next week.
