Just received flier for dicks and they are having a safe sale.

Thanks for all the advice and encouragement, I'll be back at it in the morning.

GReat buck and mount!

Well I thought today was the day we were going to get it done. We changed our strategy. We planned on getting to the spot where these deer have been hanging out or about 100 yds from it before light. We got there when we planned and sat and waged for the sun to come up, that's when these deer have been getting out of their beds. Everything was perfect except for the wind was blowing real hard and never let up. We sat and glassed for hours and hours we never saw a single deer. I'm taking the afternoon off to go back home and visit with the wife and kids. Ill be back at it hard for 2 more days. I have no idea what's going on. I have scouted and scouted then scouted some more. I have patterned these deer in this location for the last 5 yrs. I know where they come from in the mornings, I know where they head when the sun is rising. They have done the same exact thing for the last 5 yrs and leading up to this hunt. The hunt starts and nothing is the same. Ii dont believe its hunting pressure cause during the last 4 hunts they didn't change their morning routine. The only thing I can come up with is the full moon, It is really bright. We have been hiking in way before sunlight not having to use flashlights. I'm not sure if it is the moon or not buts its real frustrating. That's coues hunting!

Congrats Doug on a good looking bull. Thanks for sharing the great pics and write up.

Congrats way to stick with it.

Congrats to all. Cool pic of your daughter glassing.

Wow nice Buck with some killer eye guards. Congrats

Well we passed up the 2 spikes today and didn't see any other deer the rest of the day. We got off the mountain and talker to some other hunters that were glassing, they said the big Buck was about 300 yds to my left and I came down off the ridge when I trying to see if there were any other bucks with the 2 spikes. they tried to get him but were unsuccessful.

If those r the new one that r 8gb ill take one

I have 3 more days after today. I now lost the spikes in the thick mesquite's. There are 2 of them together.

I'm real tempted to take this spike at about 200 yds. I'm having a hard time deciding though.

Getting ready for the killer hike once again to try to find this Buck. Hopefully this day brings me some luck.

Congrats on your first. Your hard work paid off.

I think I would settle for a Buck like that. Great looking Buck, Congrats to the young hunter.

She's in our prayers. Hope she gets well soon.

Awesome story, pics, and a great looking deer to top it off. Congrats.

That's a sweet looking Buck! Congrats man.

Today was real uneventful! We saw 6 deer total only one of them was a Buck (spike). Hopefully tomorrow brings us some luck.

Ha not really a stalk just trying to get into shooting range. We glassed them up pretty far away. I see what your saying though. Well we have only seen 1 deer since the other hunter shot that 2 pt. We'll be back at it in the morning if we don't see something real soon.

While we were trying to get close enough to get a shot we hear BOOM! somebody was on the other ridge and beat us to the deer. He shot a 2pt. The good news is the one I am after was in the herd and he got away.

Just glasond up a herd of 10, the stalk is on!

Good luck to all with tags this coming weekend. I'm headed out Thursday for 24a, anybody else hunting 24a this weekend?
