Thats a pretty good deer, bet he's thrilled. I dont think that deer is even all that old, but certainly has good genetics!

Still no signs of chasing here, scrapes popping up more now. We have a few cool days coming that may get them started. I'm hoping so since I got one more week before the modern rifle season begins, I want to be out of the woods during that time.

Thanks for the update CD. MId November is looking better and better.

Going out in the morning, if I get too worked up and shoot a doe I'm blaming Jason & James for their recent doe post! I'll try to resist though.

if you do Tony, do you still have a buck tag?

Yep, but may hinder me from killing one! I just know if I shot one a buck would appear suddenly as it ran away. I probably won't for now.
