Thanks guys and I made the right decision on taking him as far as a decent mature deer for the season. A friend of mine came in and hunted with me Thur-Sat and although we saw bucks and does and one coyote, nothing came in range. He did however take his first ever turkey when we took a break Thurs at noon and we headed out to a turkey hotspot with the Mossberg...he was excited about that but no deer feel to his bow. It was a great week.
