Just had a good 8 point come by at about 100 yards and a spike is working his way right to me. Might get it done middle of the day!

That sucks man. Some folks can be down right evil when it comes to big deer. I don't get it. Me and you're ol Hoyt are currently taking a bath in hopes of seeing a buck out in this mess. So true!! And good luck, smack a big old rainy day buck!! I love hunting off the wall weather days like that. I Usually see bigger bucks those days than the nice sunny days. Hope it works for you too

After you've become soaked can you really get any wetter?
Yes, yes you can. I might be the first drowning from a treestand fatality.

Passed 7 bucks on Saturday. Did see big one, one of them may be 140 other may get 130 inches. Yesterday saw over 10 deer . Saw a buck follow a does 80 yards at 8:00 am He over 160 inches. I got out go home at 8:45 to go to church. It rain today and tomorrow. It hard to get out. I don't like my shoes got wet. It smell bad for next day but if hunt in rain it come your scene down. I still look for big one until the end this week.

Well apparently the deer were smarter than me during the storm and stayed in shelter. I'll be spending the next couple days at work attempting to dry out. Good news is I checked a camera today and had a new buck show up and he's been taking that trail during shooting hours everyday for the last 4 days so once I get another south or west wind I'll be in there after him. Some decent bucks have been on their feet this last week on my lease and so far the guys that gun hunt haven't put too bad of a hurt on them so my hopes are high. Getting to put a tag on a buck this year was awesome but getting to put one on the wall with the borrowed bow would be that much sweeter!

Well I didn't get it done that trip in Illinois I'm not done I will be back!! Tonight I didn't go out my cuz shot a big one last night and couldn't find him I went out after work to help and the trail went cold I told him to call a dog in last night and to give the deer time but I'm not sure he did either.... The orange army has invaded my best spot here in michigan since it's now public my dad was home for the gun opener and tried to go hunt it but counted almost 90 cars parked there..... Dnr limited that spot 2 48 people I'm hoping some tickets were issued but I don't have much faith..
I still have some spots I haven't even hunted yet that I'm planning on switching gears and Hitting them pretty hard.

I hunted Sunday morning...passed on a 3 1/2 year old that would have gone about 140. Waiting to see the big guy up close. On a better note I pulled my camera and was wrong about the deer I shot. Wasn't the one with the split g2's so he is still around. vimeo.com/145987580

You did your part 180! Sorry to be MIA the last few days. Had to step back and do some thinking with this issue at hand. Problem is resolved and now it's time to get back to hunting!! Likely won't make it out until Sunday but I can't wait to get back out there.

Think my friend just shot a good one. He's helped me a bunch this year since my wife left and has been struggling to see deer at any of his stands so I put him on my best one this morning and just got a text "I just broke in your new spot. Thank you buddy!" Anxious to see what buck it is.
