I saw 12 does and three spikes, all still walking. Turned pretty ugly in the afternoon but hopefully tonight's hunt will be better. Good luck!

Good to know you guys are seeing deer with such a big moon out. I'll be heading out Wednesday until Sunday and the weather man is calling some cold, snowy days up ahead. Good luck to me and all you UP'ers out there!
