    He's got a target buck. Once you've set your sights on one it's hard to break away unless you see one that's bigger. Good on you Johnny!

    Exactly. Having certain standards makes it more of a challenge and more of an accomplishment when you get the buck you really wanted.

    My ex wife had (I assume still has) it.
    ....I mean, I didn't wish it on her, but I am not sorry she has it. Is that so wrong?

    A good idea at the peak of the full moon is to sleep in, get on stand at 9:30 am and hunt until 2:00 or 2:30.

    Unfortunately this isn’t where he was. The wind is wrong for that spot today.

    It’s a winter wonderland. Hunting 9-12 then home for a bit and out for the evening if nothing materializes here. image.jpg

    I mean, you could have at least killed a doe since it wasn' t the target buck.

    Have a chance at going below zero Friday morning, don't think I'm going to attempt firearm hunt in that. I've sat in -6 temps before amd was fine, but it wasn't my first sit of the year, nor was it in early December.
