Hunted this morning, I had a small buck come in first light and then just before 8 I saw a mature buck come off the ridge in front of me. I had him at 30 yards with the bow drawn 3 different times but could not get a good shot. He moved into a small field and pushed a group of does into another wood lot. Saw another 2-1/2 7 point push some does around with the occasional doe feeding through the area. Back at it tonight.

It has been a tough bite for me over the last couple weeks even when the water conditions looked good for Browns.

Fished from Ibay down to Hedges and back this morning with 3 hits to show for it in what looked like perfect water...not good.

Froggy Glow Stinger size

So I picked up my euro from my opening day buck this week, guy said that it was the oldest deer he has ever done, had it aged at 7-1/2 years plus. In looking at the teeth, they were so ground down and some had hollow pockets from breaking down. Unreal. Most likely the deer was on a downward side of size from his prior years. I have never killed one that old, all my larger deer have been at 3-1/2 years. Thought it was worth sharing. Congrats on all the great deer being taken.

I knew I was going to catch crap from someone about the crocs, lol. Yeah same area Bruce.

It all came together this morning. Congrats on everyone who has scored

Running edge of the weed lines or out in deeper water?

Great job Matt
