I'll be out both days as well. My cousin is coming in to hunt from out of town too. Looking forward to that.

I'll be using CVA optima and he has a smokeless Savage.

Not sure yet what my plans are. I'm more likely to have the Benelli in hand chasing ducks than a muzzy chasing bucks. If I do...

CVA Optima Elite
Bushnell Trophy 3x9x40
100 grains Triple 7 pellets
295 grain Powerbelt Aerotip
Remington Klen-Bore primers

My 8 year old will be shooting;

Accura, loaded w 90 grains of 777. Powerbelt, 245 aerotip.

I set up a cam on a hunch day before yesterday. It is on a trail on a powerline, which we can observe from a high-wall vantage point. I checked the cam today and found a 140' 10 point. Pretty excited about the set-up. The deer came off a brushy hillside at 5:00, and pricked around on the powerline for 20 minutes before continuing on down the hill to cut corn fields. I like his chances for Saturday evening. Havent a clue where we'll go Saturday morning...may talk him into sleeping in so I know he'll still have his tag for the evening hunt!
