I was up in minn. and wisc. for the opener and saw close to 30 deer come through. the first night in the stand a 10pt around 260lbs came walking out at around 48 yards... i would have given my last red cent for a .270 at that point in time, haha. i've never in my life seen a buck of that calibre. at the end of the week i ended up taking a nice doe, but there's always next year for goliath, haha. happy and safe hunting to everyone!
