I am sorry to hear about that j76! I have been routing for you and will continue to do so as well. If you can get a chance to get out again.. Good Luck to you..

Myself I am getting pumped up pretty hard now. I took a short ride tonight after I got home from work. I saw 6 different hens not all were together as well as one heck of a tom. He was around 120 yards running full tilt away from me. I could not tell for sure but I am betting he had at least 2 beards and maybe 3. He was a monster and was making tracks. The problem is where I saw him it will be like a highway come opening day. I will travel up by my blind to try and get one first. Then if that big one never got shot I may try for him later on. I also was fortunate enough to see 8 deer as well. I was only gone from here about an hour maybe at the longest.. I was hoping to do some scouting tomorrow afternoon but I had a change of plans and will be working instead. I will definitely do a trip up to my blind on Sunday morning. That way I will have a better chance of locating the ones that have made it threw youth day.
