Lemond, which spot? Lums or the weigh station ? Lums there was plenty. If you want to kill a deer he said go right behind the maintence shed. I think thats Rt71, not sure. Behind the weigh station I didn't see much but am told the first one you come to is the one to hunt. I scouted the 2nd one.

Don't know. I think you have to get some kind of permit to hunt in Lums also,don't quite remember, I will check.I remember that monster buck you speak of. If I get my bow back in time I plan to hunt the first location (A) behind the weight station Thur evening and probally Fri evening as well. Don't know about Sat yet.

Rick - As of last year, you did need to register to hunt there. Also, their season may have opened later. Possible in Oct. I don't recall that it was open to hunting this time of year. Could be section specific though. I have not hunted there yet but, plan to this year. Also, I see that have archery only areas. Sounds like fun!

Buddy of mine mentioned to me today that he saw lots of parked trucks this evening below Augustine and along route 9. I'm sure someone is laying into the buck.... I can't wait.

My main bow is being worked on....good thing I have two others at the moment.

Retaks, That sucks about the missed shot but there's still plenty of time to make up for it. I was out the other day and had 5 doe 30 yrds in front of me. As I drew back I heard a snort,a big doe was behind me that I never saw come in and spoiled everything. Oh well. That's just another part of the whole hunting experience.

Good luck to all this season.

lemond the truck weighing station is on Rt 13 S of Blackbird, ( that was my last project before I retired) turn off Rt 13 onto Eagles Nest Landing Road and cross over Gumbush and the first spot is right there on the left up about a 1/4 mile , the next spot is attached but parking is on up about a 1/2 mile on the left. 1st farm has soybeans the 2nd has corn.....I;d go for the dornfield........
