Starting tomorrow afternoon I'm taking some earned vacation to bowhunt western/south central ky. Looks like the weather is going to cooperate. Anybody else hunting? Seeing any chasing or just cruising?

We have been hunting Fort Campbell, seen plenty, no shots yet.
Had a doe tonight at 35 yds, was waiting for her to come just a little closer for a clean kill but she turned around.
Seeing lots of cruising bucks. These cool nights are the trick. I shot a nice 10 pointer today, about 1 1/2 inches outside the ears looked like 8 inch G2's, heavy. Aimed low in the crease and squared him in the hip. I'm sick. I guess he took a step right as I released. Trailed him about 600 yds after I waited 3 hrs to get down. He never laid down, not one bed. The blood just got less and less and was gone. Disappointing things happen when you bowhunt, still sick feeling. Needless to say shot the bow many times this afternoon, hit dead on. Can't figure it out. Just sick feeling.
What time did you shoot it?
About 7:30
Bummer deal, wish you could have found em, he is most likely still alive out chasing the ladies by now.
