I was in section U tonite. It was my first time in that area and getting late so I did not go real deep. I was bowhunting but also scouting for muzzleloader on Saturday. Stags were bugling, probably heard ten or so and some very close. I had three whitetail bucks come in as a group. They were all smallish rack and I have no interest in WT when I'm down there. I have been hunting some other public spots down that way and I wish I had been hunting blackwater more. Its 15 minutes from the office so i'll likely be back tomorrow nite for one more try with the stick and string.

Friday and Saturday are muzzleloader days for blackwater. Applicants can hunt 1 of the two days by lottery. I was drawn for Saturday but shot a sika doe on public land so i'm done for the early split on sika. Snapped a 209 primer at a sika stag at 7:15 am. Gun did not fire. worked fine on the doe though.
