    I know a lot of deer are off to a bigger and better start but this picture is 15 years of hard work in the making. We are super excited!

    That is very exciting. I got a little excitement going on as well. This buck already is growing out with brow tines formed. Not sure if that's is good news or not but for early May I am excited. Found a shed to a 150" 10pt, I hope it's him. IMG_1300.JPG

    We've seen one buck so far. Haven't put the cameras out yet.

    This pic is a couple weeks old, the others I've got aren't as clear as this one but they have brow tines and are about over ears high as of a couple days ago.

    if it ever quits raining long enough I might be able to get back into the woods. I know rain is a great time to check cameras because it washes sent away. But I need to do some work on the area and the amount of rain we have gotten this spring is making that almost impossible.

    Fingers crossed I can get in this weekend.

    I am doing good to see some little buds and about 5-6" of growth where I am at. I haven't seen the first branched antler yet. I have caught some with decent bases but that's about it so far.
