I'd shoot the does and let him get some more size to him. He's still a youngster and will be great in a couple years. Good luck!

Use the time until then to practice and prepare. Of course. After next weekend, I'm going to get serious about shooting the revolver. It's kind of taken a back seat to the archery equipment as of late.

Wolf, can you send a map that shows where that stand is located? Good luck and can't wait to see some pictures and video.

I'm not entirely sure how to do that. I will say, though, that both blinds are fairly close to these cameras. Those does are only about 40 to 50 yards from the one in that field.

Here's that blind I was talking about. It's about 50 yards to the right of that one camera, and situated so that it's within close range of a few deer trails that funnel into the plot.

Of course. And unlike last year, I won't be bringing the rifle along with it.

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

We got a nice one on a trail camera about three weeks ago. Good thing it takes pictures in the dark, he showed up about 11PM. The day time pictures are of much smaller racks. Last year we had 18 deer in sight at one time from our sliding glass door. Not a horn in the bunch however. They were working on some new wheat I had planted as a cover crop.

Thanks, James. He's still got to make it through muzzleloader season before I can have a crack at him.

Good luck, remember to concentrate the last .01 seconds of the trigger pull, that's the section of the hunt that usually kicks my butt!
