"snow "sounds "EZ"but if its powdery or coming down fast a trail can go "cold" real fast!!

It doesn't look like it in the pic but this is an 8 I got about 6 years ago. It was a good year...a bear, a spike, a 10 and this 8.

Kansas 8, 2 years ago. Kinda cool story with him, I had caught him on a trail cam trailing a doe and decided to hang a stand in the area. With the way the terrain lay and where the deer were traveling from, I could only hunt this atand with a North West wind. Should be no problem in Kansas, second week of November. Well a warm front blew in and we had monster winds from the South and South West for several days in a row. I was down to the last two days of my hunt when a Northern blew in, strong North wind next morning.  Hunted till noon, no luck, went back to the truck for a quick bite of lunch. While sitting in my truck eating lunch I noticed the wind had changed to the North West.
Finally could hunt that stand. Got in the stand at 1:30 shot this Buck at 4:00, he was the 5th. Buck I saw that afternoon. Sometimes things just work out.  RW

Wow...some GIANTS on here!  Congrats to all!

Over the years I've certainly taken my share of 8's....or 4 by 4's like we call them out west.  

Here's some pics.

A 6 1/2 year old I took last year. I wheezed him in for a 5 yard shot from a cedar tree. Mike
