Deer have stopped moving and now I'm up wind. Going to hike south and hope I get lucky along the way.

Thanks for taking us along, I really enjoyed that! You must have been in a great spot as you saw several bucks and got off a shot at one. You know what they say the next best thing to a clean kill is a clean miss. Good luck next time and thanks again that was fun.

A full miss beats a poor hit, hands down!

Congratulations on your 8 point. I plan to get back down to my spot soon. I hope there's still some big bucks in my area. If not I'll bag a nice Doe.

Maybe chipmunks!
I was stationed on Ft. Campbell in the early to mid sixties and lived in Western Ky from 62 to 71. Deer were unheard of except on Ft. Campbell. Only saw one taken on the base in all that time and none off base. I'm glad things have improved. Lived in Hopkinsville and Mayfield.

No luck today but saw a couple Deer in the woods south of my base camp so I did some hunting. I found sign, tracks and several Scrapes. Looks like a good area to try out with my flintlock next time.
