I've been out rifle hunting for the past 2 weekends, and our group has had some good success. A couple of really nice 10 pts were taken, and I got a nice 8 pt. I'll be back at with a bow on Thanksgiving weekend. I need to use this weekend to do some catching up with class. Bucks are moving like crazy up north here though!

Back from Illinois empty handed but had a great hunt. Passed several 125/130" bucks early. Saw a 180 class buck 200 yards away across a bean field. Last day I had a half of a 140 class 8 pointer walk by at 15 yards. Saw several broken rack bucks on that property but never got to see the guy who kicked all their a$$e$! We started with weather near the 80's and had 12 dgrees the last morning. Many days with winds up to 40 mph. Some of our guys killed some nice bucks. so far we have a 160+, two in the 150's, two in the 140's and better than half a dozen in the 120-130 category.

Well guys , I'm sorry to report that my worst fear became reality yesterday. My shoulder started feeling worse and worse during bow season , especially during cold weather , so I had an MRI done last Thursday. I got the phone call yesterday. I have an 8mm tear in one tendon and about a 4mm tear in another tendon on my rotator cuff. My doctor refered me to an orthopedic surgean , he said he believes surgery is the only way to fix it. My bow season is officially over.

Sorry to hear about your shoulder, andI hope you have a quick recovery. I've seen a couple of really nice bucks over Thanksgiving weekend, but I didn't get any shots, with the bow that is. I did get a couple of pics of them though. I'll pass those along when I get a chance. I'll be out again next weekend. Good luck everyone.
