Nice buck Austin, heck of a first with the longbow!!
I went out Saturday morning with the inline to no avail. I went back out with my Striker longbow (my shelf is cut on the correct side though (RH) ). Checked my camera and got pics of younger bucks pushing doe around this past week (16th - 18th) the warm weather kept them down in the daytime for the most part it seemed. On stand I saw 2 doe and this 8 point. He fed in front of me for about 10 minutes, it was tempting but quite honestly he's not even top 4 in this area (lots of nice ones around this year). Now all I have to do is get one / the one to walk past when I'm there.

I was back in Moraine a ways today and found a treestand and homemade set of climbing sticks that had obviously been there for years. The straps were grown into the tree... a white oak. That kind of ticked me off and I went over to cut the straps and take the thing down so it couldn't do any more damage, but I couldn't. What I thought were nylon straps were in fact metal bands and they were crimped onto the tree. What a bonehead. At least I was able to clean up the garbage he left beneath the tree. I'm going to try to get back in there with a pair of snips or side cutters and get it out of there. Well, maybe I better take a cordless grinder with a cutoff wheel because he's got the climbing sticks bolted and double nutted, and it's all rusty, no way it's coming apart with wrenches. Some people's kids.

Slipped out of work at lunch today to check cameras in the rain, just moved them over scrapes last Saturday. I normally don't do anything like this but I felt like I could get in and out quickly and freshen up the scrapes. They hit my mock scrape and they made 2 of their own about 40 yards to either side of the mock scrape. Nothing huge hitting the mock scrape but its encouraging to see things are heading in the right direction.

Congrats guys. Seen two dandies around 1:00pm today trying to roust a doe. In and out of a logged area and a golden rod field. They circled me a couple of times, but never in range. But at least I seem 'em! Tomorrow......

This guy followed a doe past my stand at 25 yards last night, I managed to keep it together long enough to put an arrow thru the lungs.

Congrats! Nice deer. Watched a buck get off of a doe on forest road 2 nights ago. As I drove up to them I could only see one of eyes in the headlights, & not moving. I could see a lot white, but bigger one the one side, then I realized what was up. I was only 20 yrds when they took off. I could see 4 points on top on the left side. I've only seen breeding one other time & it was way after bow season ended.
