I went out for a few hrs this morning. I sat from 530-930 then got down and stalked into what I thought was the big bucks bedroom to hope for a chance at him. This was my last chance since I'm having surgery tomorrow. I got to with in 9 yards of this smaller 8pt and had a 15 minutes stare down he couldn't figure out what I was and took off with a second buck who's rack I couldn't get a great look at.

I've been using ba cva wolf for about 10 years now. It's a tack driver to 100 yards and beyond. I've easily taken 20+ deer with it. My son took his first deer with mine last year and had to have his own as well. Cva also has amazing customer service.

Between the youth hunt and now I've been out 6x been very fortunate my son took a doe at gmans during the youth hunt and I took a doe Monday evening then this morning on a short sit I took 2 doe. They came in 15 minutes apart and by themselves. Both were shot at 9 yards one in the heart the other in the lungs and they went less than 40 yards. The one on Monday went about 40 yards as well. I'm having shoulder surgery on Monday so I'm hoping to get one more sit in before then.

Good luck and most of all have a great time.

Huge thank you to gman. Me and my son Hunter hunted Greg's place on Saturday we sat dark to dark we didn't see anything but enjoyed relaxing in the woods together. Hunter wanted to hunt Sunday but after sitting all day my body wasn't up for another sit the next morning. I promised him that I would take him back to Greg's to hunt this morning. Greg suggested a stand that we go to and it's definitely a camp favorite. Me and Hunter seen our first deer 20 minutes after first light it was a big bodied deer but never stopped moving and Hunter couldn't get the scope on it. 20 minutes later he said here comes some deer running down the trail. One stopped about 50 yards away he aimed and squeezed off a shot. The deer took off with I'm hurt bad look. We went back to Greg's house and all chatted for an hr to make sure it has time to expire. then me Greg and Hunter went and tracked his doe. It went less than 75 yards.

Good luck. I'll be taking my son Hunter who is 13 to gman/Greg's place on Saturday. I wish we could hunt Saturday and Sunday but he has hockey both days and he can't miss both. Hunter loves it out at Greg's and is hoping to break in my marlin 30/30 lever action. A huge thanks to Greg for his generosity and hospitality.

Congrats Greg. Beautiful buck.

I'm having the same shoulder issues I have a torn labrum in both shoulders and some nerve pain going from my neck and into my hands. I've been in PT since February I finally have the right shoulder surgery scheduled for 10/27 and the left will get surgery when the right gets better. I hope you get yours fixed soon and you feel better.

Walmart near Chili had a few boxes of 6.5 yesterday for around $30 a box.

I'm guessing 20 3/4-21 1/2"

Thank you for your service. I hope you have a fast recovery.

Happy birthday. Hope you have a great day.

My first trail cam pic of the season. Got the pic less than 12 hrs after hanging the camera.

I could be wrong but I believe a fair share of bucks make it to 4.5 but they turn into ghosts/extremely smart animals and are great at avoiding hunters.

I ended up being it out on the boat.

My wife bought me the 17" Blackstone for Father's Day last year so I could put it in the tower stand at gmans. Lol. I ended up bringing it out on the during the air show and other water outings. I love it.
