    I wanted to share this picture I had on my camera the other night. It is the craziest rack I've seen. He is an 8 pointer even though in this pic you can't really see it. I hope I get a chance at him. This pic is only 19 yards from my stand.

    In my stand before sunrise this morning. around 9am I hear a snap. I see 2 does walking towards me. They get about 60 yards and stop. 3 more appear and they all continue to slowly stroll towards me. they start to follow their typical pattern and they're moving behind me like I want them to. as they start heading down the run to my shooting zone they all suddenly stop, heads go up, tails go up and they are gone. 30 seconds later....*kitten* with his yellow lab come walking by!!! I can't lie...I said some things! FRUSTRATED!!

    That's a nice doe. Congrats to your friend.

    @vaderandbill

    That sucks. My buddy had a guy ride his mountain bike past his stand on Sat as a nice buck was walk up the hill.

    I saw 3 bucks Sat in a 30min span. Passed on a big 7point (kicking my self as he walked away after watching him and getting a better look at him) then saw a bigger 10 point, but never can into range. My buddy in the afternoon saw 4 different buck, but no shots. I am off for a week and a half to end our archery season, so hopefully I can connect in that time frame.

    That's a nice size yote.

    I missed a nice 8 point yesterday. Hit a branch and wend right under him. Well I will have all next week so I think I will get another chance.

    Great looking coyote.

    Hunter, at least you got a shot off. I had two does around me when the big 8 pointer (the one at the top of this page) comes trotting down behind me. I get ready to draw and he takes a hard right towards the does. I swing my bow around the tree...and knocked my arrow off!! he and the does hung around another 10 minutes (out of range) and left.

    Man that stink.

    I never had another legal buck within range the rest of the archery season. Saw a few other legal one, but no where close to within range. My buddy connected with a 9 point last Thursday close to by stand. It was a good archery season for seeing buck. Hope to see a few of them during our gun season.

    Ok, Hopefully I can do this, I have never tried uploading photos from photobucket before...Anyway Had a great hunt over the weekend for opening rifle season. Both my son and I got nice bucks. Big 4x4's both our largest to date. Mine was on a doe and had to yell at him to get him to stop. Almost didn't get him, since he was on the run. My son's we had to blood trail for a mile and drag back across part of the Platt River from an island, but we found him and got him! Later that evening, my son (age 17) also shot a doe, I still have a couple tags left, so hopefully more to come and an even fuller freezer.
