Thanks guys,

This area is PACKED with BIG bucks. It is hard for me to believe how many big bucks are in this area, and that is after seeing them there

This area is my best-friend' s uncles farm. There are about 6 guys who hunt it in rifle season, they aren' t really really serious about hunting it and they usually only hunt it once or twice. My best friend and I are the only people who archery hunt out there, and most everyone out there will pass up smaller bucks. My best friend has been passing up small bucks out there since his first year. There is usually only 1 or 2 bucks killed off the farm every year. The woods surrounding it are owned by a guy who lives on the other side of the state. He sometimes gets a weekend each year to hunt his property, so there is alot of area with little pressure.

The 7 points we saw last night were big, really big, but, we have seen much bigger out there this year. This farm holds more P&Y caliber deer than anywhere else around here, it is just hard to hunt. One of the prime bedding areas is a patch of crab apple trees that leads into a NASTY green briar thicket. The part of the woods you can set your stand up in are usually only traveled at night. That is why we have left the woods alone until now. With the rut picking up big-time, the cooler weather which has been un-predictable, the deer will be moving any time they feel like it.

Well, I am going to go gather my gear and get ready for this evenings hunt, I just hope the rain holds off!!!!!!!
