I hear you about the rain. I had to do the backstroke just to get to my stand yesterday! The deer here have been moving in the middle of the day for the past week. Seeing lots of does and young bucks, but the 6 point I took was the only decent buck I've seen.

I have a friend that hunt's with a club up in Calhoun county and of the 25 members, 10 have taken 8 points or better. I guess the big boys just love those river bottoms.

The hunting has definetly slowed down here. I think just about everybody took the first week of gun season off from work...I've never seen so much hunter's orange in my life!

Good luck the rest of the season. I'm really looking forward to the 3 day "Christmas hunt", and it looks like some really cold weather is in store for this weekend. Maybe it will get the big 'uns to moving.
