I haven't had the camera out yet, but my buddy whose property I hunt said he saw a 10, 7 & 5 on his lawn last night. He butts up to some nice woods. That will prompt me to get the camera out there this week to hopefully see how nice the 10 pointer is? This is in the Readington/Flemington area!

well it was a heavey 8 i would say like 17 inch inside it was little more then a eyeshot. he was crossing from south to north lanes on 206. also if ya catch it right my neighbors and my wife have seen an 8 crossing just after Drakesdale rd if your heading north on 206 between 9:30 and 11 pm. looks like he's heading for the powerlines. __________________ Just when ya think ya knew it all, ya find someone who does know it all

tracked for 3 hours, shoulder shot him hard and the arrow stopped in his off shoulder, so little blood i cant figure it out.... i found the back half of the arrow. there is at least 18-20 inches of arrow in him with great blood on what i found. im goin crazy... tracked light blood for 3 hours over 500-600 yards... the did a J hook from where i shot him as a lot of big bucks will do.

Only seeing does so far in my area of Zone 8. I don't have trailcams and haven't seen any rubs or scrapes yet. Heading out again this Saturday as my buddy says where he's hutning a few miles away he's seeing a lot of rutting going on. With some rain heading this way and cooler weather (finally!!), it should pick up. But, really all I want is a deer. Buck or doe doesn't matter much to me.
