    Got some buck fever today after I got back in from checking cams. Figured I'd share some history of a buck I was after this past season. We will see what this year brings. Any else have some history with a ghost? received_559962661148798.jpeg received_277537162919552.jpeg received_276315523057050.jpeg 20190705_150511.jpeg

    Wow, that's a really cool looking rack. I have one that I've thought about naming Steven Segal bc he is hard to kill. Lol. Hopefully your ghost slips up this year. Best of luck!

    The first photo is a familiar one to all of us. Good luck for the upcoming season. Like to see a photo with you holding the rack.

    That is awesome and I wish you the best. I know it can be borderline obsession hunting a big buck. Being Ghosts is how they get big. God Bless!

    Yep... they don't get big like that by being dumb. Best of luck to you and when the season rolls around and you're posing with a dead ghost, be sure to post some pics.

    Best of luck in the endeavor. I've had a buck on camera the last 2 years in a row and he's my ghost. Very few opportunities to kill him. I think last year I had one pic with enough shooting light. I think I have him on camera again this year but a little too early to tell. Best of luck again for ya this year and hopefully one of us will be get their ghost!

    Bigger ones are so tough to see in daylight. Good luck!
