Two small bucks and a nice 5X5. I'd say you'll be in there by the Monday opener if not half the way through. I normally have plenty of action until December rolls around, then everything starts to simmer down until nothing.

Good luck to ya

Yesterday my hunting partner sent me a pic that he snapped on his way down the hill the live on of a DANDY 5x5!
Hopefully the rut trickles into next week!

Leaving in 71 minutes!!

Happy Hunt'n!!

Good luck and shoot straight

Give it a few more days and the big boys will be moving in to show the juniors how it's done.

Last year on opening morning, I sat from dawn till 1pm (HAD TO GO!!) and counted 14 different bucks that day chasing.
