First time I’ve ever got one at noon. This guy was down the ridge below me and out of sight, and started raking on a tree so loud about 11:30 that I heard him from about 100 yards away. He must have gave that tree hell. I was almost considering moving out the ridge farther right before I heard him. Thought about grunting or doe bleating, but being on the ground, and in a semi open spot I nixed that idea. Glad I waited. Now my rifle season will be nothing but time in her blind with my daughter, or doing pushes for her. 😎 ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/15rj1fq7/IMG-1925.jpg)

Congrats.
There is a reason I like to sit all day once Halloween rolls around.
I have killed 5 of my last 6 bucks between 11 and 2.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Saw a big 10 at 1100 on Wednesday.
That time of year!

Very nice deer. Weather/rut withstanding, 0900-1300 have always been my best time for good bucks.

This next couple weeks it pays to hunt dark to dark. Great buck!
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Thanks fellas! I never get too excited about getting out early in PA archery season. Not much moving, and usually too hot and too many starving skeeters. About the last 10 years I haven’t hunted until the DST change, or close to it. I can’t remember the last time I shot a buck in October, but first or second week of November has been money lately! Good luck to you men! Happy Hunting.😎
