Two other interesting whitetail bucks on cam there. Double browtines seem to be a common theme on that mountain!

Nice bucks. Hopefully you find the one you are looking for with that tag. When does the season open up?

Whitey, are you going to wait until the rut to fill your raffle tag?

Not if i see a monster early. But im assuming ill have my raffle tag in my pocket still come november. I can kill an average buck early with my general tag, so i have meat in the freezer and dont feel pressured to pull the trigger on my raffle tag. But if all goes as planned, theres a 150ish whitetail buck im hoping to hang my general tag on in early september, which will set the bar pretty damn high for my raffle tag.

Want to go somewhere tomorrow and break in my new 15x binos, sit up high all day and glass for big bucks. But my top hit list areas are all on fire or covered in smoke. Ill have to freestyle it i guess.

Good luck out there scouting. Im heading out tomorrow morning looking for those other deer. My whitetail spot isnt the same this year so I have to look elsewhere. Doesnt feel right.
