Where I am hunting the nuts have mostly dropped and the tree rats are on the ground everywhere. Every time they move in the dry leaves I try to turn my head slowly, cause it may be a deer. My buddy just harvested a 10pt 150-160 class buck last week. By the way Fort Knox was/is caught on fire in a training area by a tracer so I heard... the smoke has filled new albany and clarksville on Sat. This dry weather and wind makes these fires dangerous. keep your spirits up..your hunting time is coming...
I would think your maxi shot from a tree stand would work out great on the critters. I almost did the mgm barrel then I changed my mind. Hope yours works out for you.
appreciate your service
