My son and I have put up ten new stands this year and removed three. We have about 21 stands in place now on ten different properties. We have six trail cameras out at several properties and have been checking them since early August.

It is only bow season here but I have killed two does and passed on one other doe with it. We had a short muzzleloader season in Caldwell county and I passed on a good doe and a two year old eight pointer with my CVC OPTIMA V2 while holding out for one of three good eight pointers at that property. That was the toughest thing I have done this season so far because they were thirty yard give me's.

I have also been shooting my revolvers, my contender and my Optima V2 muzzleloader.

We have been very busy. I hope all the work pays off this season.
