We had a successful hunt in Texas this past weekend. It started a bit slow for me, then on the third eve things picked up. I had a nice young 2.5yo 8pt come out into a small food plot shortly after sitting down on the side of the hill overlooking the plot. Maybe 45 min later a doe popped out of the brush and this guy popped out behind her. No telling how far he'd been trailing her, his mouth was open and he was drooling. The shot was 200ish broadside through both shoulders and he was DRT. Got to break in my new Gradous 7STW, which was the icing on the cake. 21" inside spread with 24" beams: Since I'd gotten my buck, I was able to sit with my Dad the next morning and watch him shoot a nice buck. We were actually looking for a nice mulie, but this guy came out right after daybreak and he was too nice to pass: Good Luck to the rest of you guys, loder
