Well guys, GREAT news here!

Today I had a buddy of mine check out my bow (he use to run a pro-shop) and after a thorough examination, I don't have a cracked limb. The crack I see is actually just the camo finish, but it scared the crap out of me. The bow is fine and will be ready for season! The moral of the story is to check your bow, and no matter what, get any unusual marks checked out, they could be just cosmetic flaws like mine (thank god) but they could be something worse.

Now, tonight I got out to go spotting and we went out to my best-friends uncles. There was a bachelor group of 3 bucks (all 8 points) hanging out right outside the woodline from where our food plot is. The biggest 8 was probablly in the 16" range with good mass and decent tine length. He would probablly go around 100"-110" range, not a shooter this year, but he has some potential. Well, we went to the other side of the farm and there were two doe and two bucks bedded together. The small buck was a little 8 point, a little 1-1/2 year old that has good potential. The bigger buck is what was the high point of the evening. He is a young deer, probablly 2-1/2 years old, and he has a perfectly typical 10 point frame that is about 16" wide. His mass wasn't bad, nothing great, tine length wasn't anything special, I would guess his brows to be around 1-1/2", G-2's in the 6" range, G-3's in the 5" range, and his G-4's were probablly in the 3" range. He definetly has some great potential to be a bruiser in two or three years!

All the bucks were saw were out of velvet. My best friends uncle got a roll from his game cam tonight and it is getting developed. If there are any nice buck pics I will scan them for you guys to see.

Kcison, go smack that bad boy. I wish you the best of luck, that is a bruiser of an 8 pt.
