Hello,

Well...I decided to get a head start on this season so me and the wife picked up our Oregon bow tags and we were out scouting the night before opener.

Just cant say any more than what an awesome way to hunt.  Great the you have your wife as a hunting partner and what a great hunt.  And then to top it all off the kids are there to share.  Great job and nice buck.  That's the way to start off the season.

Nice job LTL, as you know any buck with a bow is a good one. I have to agree with Charlie at about 115". Looks like the whole family is having a great time, enjoy.
