Think I shot my biggest buck ever tonight, right at dark the 4th buck iv seen this evening!, blood on the arrow, 15 yrds fist size spots of blood! I backed out and when to get a buddie, it started pouring rain, wasnt sposed to rain till tommorow, got my old lanard, Fred , a sled, to drag the beast out. got back about 40 mins after the shot, 1/4 mile off the road, cant find blood the spots I saw were washed out, after an hour in the rain Fred found good blood under a tree, I found several more, lost it about 60yrds out after 3 hrs we came in soaked, hope to find him in the moring, Im bumed felt it was a good hit! i pulled the chip from the cam before the hunt, and I have another big buck, so im not sure which one I shot , the rack looked wider and heaver the the big 8 iv been hopeing for! I now have 8 diffrent bucks, comeing by this stand, NOT like the ones Dan has But 5 are shooters for me! bad leg hurting and beat but not sleepy yet, you guys know what im feeling beers are helping some, wish me luck, ill post after looking in the Am.

That's ok Dan. It's too early to actually shoot anything anyway. 😄 LOL. I hadn't tuned into this thread yet figuring the same.  Looks like you've got a couple candidates there, Dan. Looking forward to the impending reports – good luck.

I don't know about you Dan, but I feel like I'm bear hunting not deer hunting. 72 degree and I have the thermocell going because the 'skeeters are swarming tonight!
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 , and even better my younger Bud shot a nice doe out of a stand of mine, last night, double Lung went 40 yrds to drop, about a 10yrd drag to my side by side, I offered to gut it for him as the last deer he killed was in 2005! he declined but needed my Knife, being a nice guy I also gave him apair of gutting gloves, and helped here & there! a month ago he said he didnt think he was going to hunt! over a few cold ones last night he said this was one of the Best weekends hes had ! I Know it was for Me!
