I've been so busy working overtime (550 hours so far this year) that I haven't been out except for opening day of archery season. I pretty much took off the last two years from deer hunting, so I'm hopeful to get back into it this year. The only plus side to all of this overtime is that it has funded lots of goodies that one can find use for in this social and political climate we find ourselves in. Besides, it can all carry over to hunting as well, especially nighttime varmints. I haven't read any of the preceding pages of this thread. Have any of you guys arrowed any bucks? (Not that there's an ounce of shame in harvesting does.) I received a photo from a very good friend today of his brother-in-law's awesome buck taken in Switzerland County this morning, but that's the only buck I've personally heard of being harvested this season. Hey there stranger...check out the deer check-in thread on page 1 and take a look at Bill9068’s stud buck!! Mission5 scored on a stud also!! It can be found on this thread somewhere.

Don't laugh at me on this question, but I'm curious as to weather or not anyone is using any estrous urine yet or is it still to early?

I was hiking uphill a few hundred yards to a spot on HNF and just about the time I reached where I was going to set my stand I see a flashlight uphill from me. They must have came down from the top or sidehilled there. Not sure they saw me as it is so bright with moonlight I was barely using a flashlight. So I turned around and drove a short ways to another block of HNF I have been meaning to scout. Waiting on good light to slip through the woods.

It's easy to get discouraged, but they are here somewhere. I saw 5 deer yesterday all between 9 am and 1 pm. Nothing in the evening and sat all day. Deer should move mid day because of the full moon.

It's been an active morning. Had a doe and 120 to 130 8pt in front since 7am. Both doe and buck I put the scope on, but didn't pull the trigger. Both easy 20 yard shot. Should have taken the doe. Chasing phase in full throttle
