    Last winter I purchased a Red 40 for a great deals a Christmas present to myself ... I used it around the chicken coop to test it out and see what was hunting my chickens...this spring I moved it to the woodline behind my house to see what deer were coming by at night as I am going to hunt back there a little this bow season. I got a ton of pictures of small bucks, doe and fawns. I saw with my own eyes a bachelor group that contained a nice high racked buck, a 100" 8 pointer, and 2 small bucks. I knew it was only a matter of time before I got a decent buck.

    And here is just a beautiful picture of two mature doe .... we saw them walk in front of the camera from the house ... the fawn was tagging behind

    I know the buck isn't a shooter for a lot of you, but I would be thrilled with him...
