Sure does seem late. I`ve got a trail cam pic from two weeks ago with a deer looking at the cam from about 2 feet. You can see the bumps on his head where new antlers have started.

Ah ha! I think I`ll keep that info in my back pocket in case he tries any "funny stuff". TY.

Water temp back down to 43 yesterday. This wind has mixed the water up. Yes I know there is a line through these sentences. No, I don`t know how to eliminate it.

Yep, that's the one. Sounds like you fellas are catching some good numbers. Good luck this season. Maybe we'll see you on the water on Seneca. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Off topic but I have to comment on Tom. One of the most honest, nice fellas I`ve ever met. Definitely the toughest guy I ever knew. Over the years Tom processed a small mountain of deer for me. About 15 years ago I sold him a thermocline rig, a green 6 1/2 footer w/ a penn 49m. Maybe you inherited it.

Are you related to Tom? If so, you have gotten some good instruction. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Les` method works great if you are ok boating only "hammerhandles".

My boat is prepped and weather permitting, will go in early next week. Chomping at the bit to get going. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Ya know, they have medication for that condition... Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

47 degrees today. Yes Les, I double checked...

Temp today was down to 42.

Yea, I was a bit surprised it was that high.. Same thermometer as last year, and was accurate w/air temp. before I submerged it.

Dropped the thermometer in today for the season. A couple time a week I`ll post the temps. Taken a bit N of Lodi Pt. in 3 feet of water. Today it`s 44. (Yes, I have a bad case of cabin fever too.)

I ended my season last night, catching a doe at 4:15 pm sneaking through hardwoods on her way out to feed in the hay fields. It has been pretty slim pickins in zone 8s and 8j the last two weeks. Final tally for me; a doe and buck in bow, a doe and buck in rifle, and a doe in muzzle. I have more tags but have plenty of venison for family and friends. Saw 7 different bucks in bow season, only 1 buck in gun. The monarch buck that a lot of us were after was taken in early gun. All in all a very enjoyable season for me.Thanks to Legacy for the thread again this year, and all who contributed. It has been great to hear others experiences and see some great bucks. Hop

He's definitely a keeper! Congratulations. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Nice to know I'm not the only one. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

That guy has some serious shoulders on him! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Nice. I tagged an 8 point last night right at dark. He was bedded at the bottom of a steep ravine. Started up the side, probably to feed in a nearby white oak grove. Not a huge guy but I`m very happy with him.

Also Sat in the rain, two doe snuck in on me, took off when I stood up. [emoji30] Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Yea, ok. Thought it was some type of testing. Thanks for the responses.

Does anyone know why there was a chopper North of Lodi Pt. around 4pm today? Was about in the middle of the lake hovering low enough to kick up lots of spray. Thoughts are a training exercise; rescue; stocking fish? (kind of expensive to stock this way)
