Our season's been pretty slow. 3 bucks were taken, only one we had on camera but no real monsters. It was 82 degrees and windy for rifle opener. I haven't had a chance to hunt below 50 degrees... just a crazy warm season this year.

Seen lots of does and a few small bucks. Our guys took a huge 2.5yr old 9pt and another bagged an older 12pt.

Have another nice one on camera but going to wait till it's colder to chase em
Knice! 👏 I’ve only gotten the chance to hunt twice because of work and the warm weather but I did miss a prime opportunity when I got greedy…it was the second week of bow season and I had #’s 4 and 5 on my hit list underneath me @ less than twenty yards relaxed and feeding in the food plot giving me broadside or quartering away shots for probably 10 minutes or so when my #1 came in at the opposite end of the plot…I ranged him at 47yds but he never gave me the right angle nor did he get any closer…light slowly faded and they all just eased back out into the woods while I sat there dumbfounded…lesson learned 🤔

Manixguy that's a bummer, hope you can still find time to make it out.

Salty I've been there. Work kept me home but then I saw this guy daylighting... always the case.
