    The velvet deer is the trailcam buck and he has been a target for 3 years. He was passed on 4 years ago as a spindly 10pt by both my uncle and I. He was everywhere that year, I bet I saw him 10 times and my uncle may have watched him more than that. After that, well you know how it goes. I have written about my near miss with him last year, and my uncle saw him in the subdivision by where we hunt last night with a doe. He is impressive, but his body is what wows me...remember this is a Georgia deer. The last picture, well he just showed up, we have not laid eyes on him ever, and I think we would remember him. I plan to kill him tomorrow, as I have an east wind which we never get and I have a perfect place to smoke one, nestled up right between 2 bedding areas. I have 3 and 4 year old pics as well but cannot find them, if Rob reads this he has them and hopefully can post them.
