    Last year when we started hunting a place a buck popped up as many of you may remember me sharing...we coined him RD (Real Deal) and I hunted him over 200 hours last year and a ton of all day sits...numerous killable chances but never at my stand...so this year he really went MIA. Then just days after I dropped Kicks' up he popped on midnight...playing the prayer game from Nov. 16th through Dec. 2nd (Indiana Gun Season) that he'd live we got a pleasant camera pull....He was alive 12/30 so hopefully he will have squeeked by yet another year of pressure....

    He made a huge mistake though this year, only mistake we've got on camera....these pictures were taken 40 minutes after a neighboring hunter walked by (he sadly has permission to cross using road)....no clue if he rattled RD up or what but he almost made a costly mistake this day...gorgeous pics though. He didn't add hardly any inches from last year but for a clean 4x4 the dude is a stud and will be yet again the buck I focus on in 2014 more than likely!

    Here's to praying he lives through ML (not nearly as much pressure)....opens this Saturday and runs 2 weeks.

    He doesn't need to add anymore inches, already a great buck! Let's hope he makes a mistake that benefits you or your Dad next year.
