TJF- I'll post weekly on how I'm doing. Our season starts in a little over two weeks here in Nebraska, on Sept. 15th. I've been out scouting around for the last few weeks now and have seen some pretty nice bucks, I would guess in the 100-120 range. I'm new at scoring and am not really that good at guessing sizes yet. I'm gonna start measuring up my buck from last year so that I have a baseline to start from. The bucks I've seen so far this year are at least as big as him, though, with a couple definitely bigger.

All of our deer still have their velvet on, so they better start shedding it pretty soon. I also have a few more places to hunt lined up for this year, but it's always a tough decision to go to them when I can walk right up behind my house and know I have a chance at a P&Y, albeit maybe on the low end. No matter where I hunt on a given day, I'm always second guessing myself on whether I should have hunted elsewhere. Sometimes that's the fun of hunting as well.
