Knoll:
Congrats, sir!

BowEd:
Thanks fellas.
It's a bow I made last spring along with a couple others [black locust & hickory].It's osage.Using it throughout this season.
Got a good in depth look less than 10' away at a barred owl landing and sitting a while yesterday.Also got a little regret lately too.I had a slam dunk just right shot with plenty of time at what I thought was a 3.5 year 8 point yesterday less than 10 yards away.He never knew I was there as I left him go on.I passed on him because another larger 8 point was following him up just getting right when he got a whiff of me.It was dead still out.I know where he lives.We'll see if I see him again.That's hunting.
That's 5 nice bucks I've seen here this year.First 1 I had a decent shot at.Could be 1 that I've seen twice though.The larger 8 point yesterday was the newest/latest & biggest I've seen so far this year.Probably at least 125 pounds of meat on that old boy.Really nice looking animal.Wide/tall/thick/built like a box car and impressive.At least a 5.5 year old.Does'nt take long to get to 200 pounds with deer like that.
I don't carry gadgets with me like phones and cameras when hunting but I'm sure any deer hunter would of liked to get a shot at him.

Pat B:
Congrats, Ed.   :OK

BowEd:
Thanks Pat....It's one for us old guys....ha ha.
Heard a bob cat yowling/growling to the point of screaming behind me a good 50 yards or so yesterday,but never saw him.Something was bothering him or her.I let a forked buck go by too.They are'nt much bigger than the does here.Another was coming in a little bigger but the light was too dark by then.Seeing coon ramble through fairly regularly.
Wind stays at 15 to 20 mph at shooting times lately which makes it a bit sketchy.

rps3:
Congratulations...good luck chasing the big boy.
