OK, I'm back.

I didn't try to shoot a doe or spike as this was my buck hunt. Based on what I saw everyone should bring a large ICE CHEST. I saw often saw 3 or 4 spikes at a feeder. Some of these were cowhorn, five or six inch spikes, but most were 1- 1.5 inches. I saw fewer doe, but my son's experience was the opposite. He was seeing 6 or 7 doe and maybe only one spike on each outing. If we hunt hard and bathe on a more regular basis than biggen, then we all should have a chance to harvest something for the freezer.

Now as to the bucks. I "almost" got drawn all the way on a mature 8. Hard to do with 8 deer around you. My son had a shot as well. No horns, but lots of fun.
