I've worked for Kinder Morgan at Nucor for nearly 8 years and spent a lot of hours driving the port road back where Nucor joins Mallard Creek and last year there was hard chasing the 2nd week of Dec. Thats probably the first year I remember it that hard that early. I saw a 3 yr old 8 pt this week and some other guys have been mentioning seeing smaller bucks. No one has seen anything great yet. In years past it seems the last week of December was very good. I may still have pics a guy got on one day of 3 different bucks, I figure there was a hot doe that day. One was around a 120 8pt, then 150 10pt, and the last is hard to say but from a 100yds off he looked very wide.

From 65 East its a different story. Our bucks are probably still in groups and won't get going until January
