RE: how many bucks have y' all seen this year so far.
You guys count buttons as buck sightings.............LOL
If thats the case I have seen about 50 bucks this year.......
Actually I have passed on about 8 bucks this year - a google of dinks, one 7 and two small skinny eights the other day.
I had one slammer as close as 15 yds 2 weeks ago and never got a good shot[:' (]
I am beaten down and frustrated - but I ain' t about to give in

RE: how many bucks have y' all seen this year so far.
now lets see i hae never stopped to think about it, but a very good question....i think the total is ten. 1 spike horn w/ real tall spikes...maybe a foot tall! a small fork horn, a real wide and massy 5 point very non-typical, would have shot if given a good opertunity! 3 six points two smaller ones one real nice one which i took a couple of weeks back. 3 real nice shooter 8' s never given a good shot though![:@]
1 real small 8 point. not too bad though. good luck

I have seen about 15 to 20 and half have been over 110 to 120 range, only two that would have gone over 140, but no good shooting opportunities yet.

I' ve seen 7 different bucks since Oct 1st. Four were young basket racks, 2 were forked horns, and the one shooter that I' ve seen was a great looking 10 point that just stayed a little out of bow range, but the season' s not over and I' ve got a good feeling that big boys gonna make a mistake sooner or later.

So far this year I' ve seen a bunch of non-shooters (probably 12 or so), a really skinny inside the ears 8 and one VERY nice buck that passed by before it was light enough to really judge his rack. I hunt central and western Illinois. Rut is not going on yet.

Wow am I hunting in the wrong place. Seems that quite a few of you are seeing 10-20 bucks. Either good hunting or good BS' ng.
I' m in MI - have seen two 6-pts., but only have hunted about 15 times so far. That thing between 8 and 6 tends to get in the way alot - called a job.
