That's a heck of a buck!! Congrats again!

I saw a few does Friday and Saturday, but no bucks. My uncle killed a decent eight with three stickers coming off the base.

I hunted at my grandparents in Alabama on Monday for the black powder opener and passed on a couple small does (~40 lbs apiece LOL). I saw them in the morning and again in the evening from two different stands. I'm hoping momma ran them off cause she's coming into estrous.;)

Gun season opens Saturday in AL and I've already got my stand picked out. There's a fresh scrape that appeared in the last week about 10 yards behind the stand.

Good luck!!

I shot an 8pt. this morning around 8:30a. He was locked onto a doe that he even bred once while I watched them. He spent 30mins running off 4 other smaller bucks that wanted in on "his" doe. He finally kept pushing the other bucks my direction and eventually exposed himself into bow range. I put a nice quartering away shot on him at 30yds. He ran about 65yds and piled up. It was a good morning. I was afraid that our rut was already over but today proved otherwise!

I'll post pics soon and get points added to the board. Congrats to everyone else who has scored recently and good luck to the rest!

Leaving Iowa empty handed this morning. Had a shot at a great 10 point with an 8" drop tine. He had been shot in a hind quarter by someone else and came and bedded near me just as I got the gun on him. Waited 30 minutes for him to stand, only to kill the snot out of a 1" twig about 15' from my stand. I was sick for the rest of the day needless to say. He would have scored in the 160's easily. Tried to get on him again for the next 2 days with no luck. Saw plenty of deer from spikes to 140" 8's but really wanted something better. Still have M/L season in Indiana and KY so all is not lost yet. I'm tempted to go back and cut down the limb I shot and mount it as a reminder to be more observant.....
