Sorry guys, nothing worth shooting this early in the season. That nine point was the biggest of them all but any of the eight points were nice bucks. I just amazed none of the monsters that I know are running around wanted to get shot. Go figure, I guess that's why they call it hunting. None of my friends saw anything huge.

Tonight I went to an old honey hole that holds big ones. The home owner said she hasn't seen anything big in her yard but has seen some running the neighborhood. I picked a new tree based on last years movement (another hunter was hunting across the open field) Bad news is no big bucks let alone huge, the good news is I have the right tree there. I had 18 does 2 spikes and one weird 4 pointer (spike & 3 points). All came directly underneath me on there way to grazing. I was sure something big had to show but it was no go.

Unfortunately, finacial responsibility has come into play and I have to cut my trip short. I hope to make one more trip up here when the rut is on. I'll give it one more time and then give you guys a choice. I can get two bucks. Next month I don't care if I shoot one of the 8's or there is even a chance for a nice 10. On the other hand I could hold out for huge and shoot something later in the month or into January. I just can't be sure when or if I will get back up north.
