    He is going to be a hard buck to pass, but I am setting my goal alittle higher this year. But you never know what will happen in the heat of the moment! Starting to get the feeling of a kid on Christmas, lets get this season started! Few weeks to go

    Trying to pick up a new piece of property this week. If I'm successful I have a feeling my odds of shooting an early season buck will double.

    Nice good luck, I lost my #1 lease this year and still looking for another to replace it. You never know when one will pop up!

    Just a sneak peek at one of the bucks that showed up this summer. I know the other ones on that property but this guy is new. Posting from my phone so it's a picture of a zoomed in picture.

    A buddy of mine had permission on some property behind a bunch of million dollar homes out that way a few years ago. I had to help him track a buck one morning and couldn't believe the number of bucks we jumped that morning.

    Just a couple little guys. There are a few mature deer in that area but I usually don't see them till later in the year.
