This first week has been brutal - full moon staying up all night and super windy. I think I heard about 10 shots on Saturday (minus the two back to back 10 round bursts from assault weapons), ZERO shots Monday, and two on Tuesday.
I sat for almost 24 hours and saw 3 - trophy buck that eluded me, fork horn, and a button buck. I shot the button buck at 10 yards. That was the first deer I've shot with a centerfire rifle in 8 years!
Hopefully this weekend will be better with the moon coming up later (though still quite full) and temps plummeting

Good luck Red, I'm headed down to Owensville tomorrow night but have to come back Sun morning. We will hunt non stop on sat. I'm taking the middle midget with me ( the one you met and the one looking at college these days) after wrestling practice tomorrow. There is a nice buck in the area but I don't know how nice ................yet

Oh and I lent my .280 to the neighbor for the weekend as he is hunting up in Kirksville so I'll either use the .243 or I might take out the .270 I picked up for the youngest midget if I get a chance to sight the open sites in sat around lunch. oh Helll I might just nap the entire time too, I've been working my fat butt off these days.

I had my deer scored yesterday and I made the Hoosier Record book at 142 5/8 typical.
I had 156 3/8 gross and major deductions for the rack but not enough to score it Non typical. Never had a deer scored before.

I had one of mine scored at Cabelas a few years ago. It could have made the Missouri Big Bucks Club but I didn't want to pay the $20
I don't understand why people get so excited about antler scores. It's nice to know on truly big deer, but I don't base my life around it.
