No right or wrong answer. Being an 8a/c guy it stinks that after bow the tag is useless. Really going to miss late season. Tonight's my last night of vacation but I'm not shooting unless it's a big deer for me. My biggest was a nine around 110-115 inches. Big four year old deer. I have never even seen bucks like some people here have shot. It's been a great week and I can say that regardless of what happens tonight or the rest of the season it's been and will be great. I put a roadkill deer in the backyard last night and the motion detector and trailcam are set as well. The receiver is upstairs in my house and the 17 and 204 are ready to rock. When the alarm sounds the light shines out the spare bedroom and the fur is going to fly. Will be posting pics soon.

I'm hitting the ground tonight on a tight travel corridor right next to the road.

That's a great buck!

Just southwest of your house Jerry.

Buddy of mine shot a buck at 8. We didn't find it till 930. Coyote found it first. Amazing.

Matt I have been off all week and like you have hunted hard and not seen one shooter. I hunt north Greece and Hamlin and have seen very few rubs and scrapes. The three or four one and a half and two and a half year old bucks were just cruising. No swollen necks and although there must be some rutting activity I don't think in this area that much is going on. In regards to the "whining" comments, ironic that someone that has "holy" in their name is passing judgement on others. I have a few words for him but I think they violate the terms of agreement lol. Hunting and fishing can be a lot of fun but there are certainly times where even just seeing some action goes a long way! Well it's blowing 25+ and is close to 70 outside. Time to grab my gear and get out there. Hey, you never know.

Where were you fishing Brian?

I'd rather hear snow plows driving by than motorcycles.

Tempting lol

Two and a half year old 8 just walked by

Robby both my sons boars at age ten were Magnus stinger 2 blades pulling 40. Phil had the pics on the wall at his shop. He swore by them.

But keep it fun. I haven't shot a buck in 3 years. Missed one last year. I pass what I consider small bucks but do take a few doe every year. If for whatever reason I want to get out early or sleep in some mornings I do it. A big buck would be great but to not enjoy precious time off would be a waste.

Matt I think your hard work will be rewarded. Difference between hunting and trolling is you can always move your boat but with hunting you hunt what you have. I'm not sure the places I have to hunt are the greatest there is but its what I have and you make the best of it.

Weeks vacation starts now. Hope I see some action. Looking forward to spending some time in the woods.

Congrats Rob, that's awesome!

I'm an 8c/8a guy too. Some good deer here, stand time can only be a plus.

Bondouley did you see anything tonight? I commend you on an all day sit.

The car in front of me on manitou whacked one tonight just up from my house. If it's there tomorrow it's going on the coyote bait pile in the back yard.

How cool is that!

Good luck

No worries Matt next week is going to be great.

I'm off for a week starting next Tuesday. I can hardly wait.
