No show on the big one last weekend. Going out before work tomorrow and will do so every morning through Friday. Got another spot that has a good one using the area and they are scraping hard 15 yards from my stand. Last time I hunted it, I left my drag line hanging in a branch above their trail. Went to get it Sunday and they just hammered the area underneath it, plus dug a scrape 10 feet from my stand. Would love to hunt that spot in the evening but work keeps us busy well after dark so will have to hope for success in the morning.

Rifle season starts noon on Friday. Have friends coming up for the first weekend so the bow gets a rest for a couple days. After the weekend is over and if I don't fill my tag with rifle, I will sling my rifle and try to fill that tag with bow since it is legal to do so. I can carry both and if I can get within bow range, I will fill my rifle tag using bow. If not in range the 270 gets the nod. One way or another I will shoot a wallhanger. I am planning on taking the second week of rifle season off. That will be 9 days of hunting from dawn til dark. Will work on filling my bow tag should it not happen in the next couple mornings. Lots a time to hunt and looking forward to it.

Goodluck to everyone.
