What an absolutely beautiful morning to be in the deer woods. Last morning I could hunt before extended and I was able to score on a really nice 8 pt. 32 yard shot and the deer gods were watching out for me as I hit a small twig and deflected my arrow. I only had one small window before he was out of my lane. Fortunately I was able to hit the neck and he was down in 15 yards! I love this time of year! He came in with his nose to the ground scent checking. His tarsals were black and stunk of rut! Bring on permit bow!

Just curious, Newtonlt, as to the general location of your hunt. As I hunt in Freedon just outside of Newton. I've got a buck on the cam that was on the "possibles" list. It looks alot like the buck you just posted. Either its the same deer or he's a very close relation with a split brow in the same spot. What do you think:
