Thanks, When I started bowhunting in my teens I killed two bucks in the first four years with a bow, now I'm making a habit of missing them completely. On the bright side it is better than making a bad hit on one. The monster is getting to be a legend in my family. My older brother missed him two years ago, My younger brother saw him last year, I missed him last year and my Dad saw him the first week of March this year and he still had his rack! We haven't seen him since then so I hope he is still around.

I still don't like CS, by the way. The GC is afraid to institute Sunday hunting out of fear of too much pressure and they go and do that! I think it gives the masses too many opportunities all at once and really takes advantage of the pressured deer movement. It is obvious what the objective of CS is when they are doing it with bears in bear dense areas.
Send an army in the woods with a tag for everything and clean them out.
Just the way I see that.
Good luck to you too this year. Maybe check out a new area, you just might find an overlooked honeyhole.
