early...If killing a buck means that much to you, fly into Norfolk and I'll put you on another...I only ask that you also kill 2 does...I do prefer that the rack has at least 8 points and extends past his ears, but I won't get mad if it doesn't...
I'll say it again, hunt for the meat and you will enjoy it that much more...In most areas, we really need to thin the doe herd...I do it because they eat my beans, peanuts, corn and wheat, I have seen as many as 50 deer in a 30 acre field....
When I started 15 years ago all we had were scrub bucks...It's paying off, we killed some nice 8s, 9s and 10s last year and we have more bucks chasing does during the rut than ever before...

First thing in the morning you can't keep me in bed. What usually goes through my head isn't the same at what doesn't. Even though I set everything up for my hunt the night before I still manage to run around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to figure out everything I need to do. But first, above all else, I just step outside for a bit and get a good judge of what kind of day it's going to be

About 25 years ago, when I lived in Statesboro, GA, I was discussing deer hunting with one of the salesmen at one of my Deere dealerships...I asked him if he hunted and he looked me straight in the eye and said..."Why in the world would I leave a warm, naked woman in the bed at 5 in the morning to go deer hunting???".....I laughed until I cried....
I learned a few months later that he was on his 4th wife.....

Will let an arrow fly today? Don't forget your gear needs to make it in the truck before work to hunt after. Will I get a shot today? Don't hit the snooze, check the wind, figure a probable stand, and make sure you have your release. I hope I pick the right stand today. "Oh, good morning hunny, cya after dark."
