Well how did you guys do?

I saw a total of 7 does and 3 bucks. All young does and 1spike, 4 pounter, and the last was at least 8 points did get a good look at him he was on the other side if the fence line moving through so thick brush.

My dad got a 7 point brother got a 6 and my cousin shot a button buck.
