well yesterday morning was pretty slow. i only saw 1 deer and she was 200 yards away. i saw 2 hens when i was walking out. my buddy, ryan, didn't see anything but tree rats. after helping my grandpa do some farm work we headed back out for the evening hunt. there was already a deer in my field at 4:30 so i couldn't get to my stand til she left. i got in at 5:15 and didn't see another deer. ryan had a little more action. he saw 7 does and had a mediocre shot opp. at a doe at 15 yards but an ethical shot never presented itself. this morning ryan saw 3 does. i saw 3 bucks at 7:50. a 2.5 yr old 5 pt. had a good 3 on one side and had damaged he left. he was about 14" wide his G-2 was about 7". there was a small 1.5 yr. old 4 pt. and a 3.5 yr old 8pt that was about 17" wide, 8" G-2, 5-6" G-3, good brows, long main beams almost to the tip of his nose, and sollid mass. we guess his basses were 6" but thats with velvet. he'll probably have 5" bases once he sheds his velvet. we guesstimated his score at 128-134. they stayed out at 100 yards or better the whole time. maybe i'll get a crack at him come october.

Sounds like a good trip.
A good friend of mine left out this afternoon headed to Kentucky to bow hunt this week. Last year he went there and came back with a nice 8pt. Hopefully he will do as good this time around.

I saw the big buck again this evening. i brought my big binoculars (nikon 10x50) with me this evening so that i could get a better look at him if he came out. my little bushnell 10x32's just weren't gettin the job done this morning. so i saw him again and with better binoculars i was able to get a better read on his tine length. i was way off on my previous estimates. his G-2's are atleast 12" maybe 13" and his G-3's are around 8". also he has more mass than i thought. his bases are huge. im talkin like 7". all this concidered we recalculated his guesstimated B&C score to be around 147 and his P&Y score to be 130. hopefully we'll get an official mesurement before this year is over.
