I didnt go this morning, i went and put up my stand out at the other place i hunt. I did go back this afternoon to the spot i seen the buck yesterday and i didnt see a thing. That spot just isnt an evening spot for some reason. I'll hunt probably from Tuesday on. Got class tomorrow so thats out. I freaking got selected again for Jury Duty right in the middle of opening week of shotgun before Thanksgiving. I dont know how that will go but i will try my best to not get selected. Hopefully i have a buck by then. Go Colts!

Hey bigbuck, did you try to say you had a family commitment and you couldn't make it for jury duty? It worked for me anyway (I really *did* have a commitment, but I hear it works most of the time).

Anyway, I haven't been out since last Thursday. Had to be in Michigan all weekend, so that was out, and my little guy ended up sick with a 103 degree fever all the way home from Michigan (3 hour drive) and all through the night. I will probably sit tonight out as well just to make sure he stays still and doesn't get that fever up again. Maybe tomorrow I'll get out, that would be nice. I know the deer are moving all over the place, and I would like to see if the big boy is still out there. I've seen him 2 more times (after missing a shot the first time). I know right where he's hanging out, unfortunately he is 150-200 yards out and on a neighboring property I don't have permission to hunt or I'd just set up closer to where he's at.

Good luck to all this week!

In our county they make you defer it if u cant make it. So i'd have to attend at some other time, i just assume be done with it. I got selected back in April too but when i called the night before they said i wasnt needed. Hopefully that happens again, my one year on call status was set to expire the end of December. I have ways to not get selcted though, my uncle is former sherrif of the county and my brother interned at the prosecutors office the last 2 summers. I doubt the defense wants me there.

Two very nice does.

I've reached a conclusion that I've passed on too many does..something is going to die this week.

I can't even FIND any does... all bucks so far! Seen a couple does, but they were 200 yards out! Sheesh!

I got this buck in Orland Indiana if any of you know where that is. I shot him at 20 yards on Nov. 5th the same day as i took my buck last year. He ran 60 yds and died. I got both lungs, heart, and broke the shoulder. Hes only a 7 Point but i couldnt be any prouder of him. He weighed about 170 pounds feild dressed a fairly big bodied buck.

Isn't "The Angler" in "Orland?"

If so, I hunt 5 miles west of there, on the south side of Big Long Lake.

Regardless, nice buck. Tons running around my area nearly the same size. Nice older Mathews too.

The Angler is actually in Hudson according to it's address, however it is up by the Orland area. Orland is Northwest of Angola, right up on the Michigan line. If you know where Pigeon River/Mongo, you would be able to find Orland.

Nice buck there liv2hunt! I'd be proud of it too!
