Hey John, you really are the Hemingway of these threads and I cannot wait to follow your adventures here. Let me know which weekend hunt will turn into our C.E. course! Brian.
He lived in the corner last year. Only came in that one morning. Believe it or not, there's another one back there that's an 8 that's BIGGER! There were 2 8's and a 7. I couldn't believe he ate as long as he did and wouldn't turn broadside. I plan on putting my non double bull blind back in the same cedar thicket. This year, I plan on putting a pole feeder back there so they'll have corn every day, even when I'm not there.
Here's another good looking buck. He is WEAK in Caddles, but dang he's got long beams and great brows. I call him SCLB.
You know, looking back over my DVD's and pics, I think I was an idiot...several times over. LOL
Here's one I called the Freak. Wierd looking. Non matching sides. His right beam looks pretty long. Kind of pencil horned, I considered shooting him because he has character and is unique. I just couldn't bring myself to do it, not after passing all the big bucks that I had already passed. He's a 7 pt. His beams head back off his head and then go up, I think he has pretty good beams.
Here's the deer that Krivoman is hot for. I took these pics from camp while I was cleaning my second axis. As you can see, he was just stripping velvet. I imagine he'll be later than most coming out again. Will Mitch be able to pass all those other hosses he sees to wait on this one? Will he just take him in velvet? Will the deer come back bigger and better? Did he survive? These are but a few of the questions that will be answered in this year's axis quest. (Does that sound like Terry Drury?)
May 23rd. Right after turkey season. I don't know how many will be out of velvet then, but I bet the Pentagon buck will be. He was in hard horn the first weekend last year and had some color to his horns. So, he'd been out for awhile.
