This is story behind this hunt is a little funny. JM had passed on this buck 10 days earlier. I'm like, really? Are you sure? Why? He said it was not the buck that he wanted. Okay, so I let it ride until the weekend. I reminded him that he can harvest 2 bucks so get a good buck on the ground and then wait on the one that you want. I also reminded him that we may not ever see either buck again. Well, when he saw this one again, he put it down. He didn't make the best shot, but it didn't go far. Since this was a school day, he had permission to come in late. I got him to school with two minutes to spare. He harvested his first one last year with a muzzle loader. He had never shot a ML before. He got this one with a crossbow. Now, he needs to get one with a rifle. Not bad for a 11-year-old. Take a kid hunting!!!!!

This young man has the makings of a trophy buck hunter. If a person has a target buck, he has to be willing to pass other bucks knowing he may go home empty handed. The majority of hunters I know don’t have this ability, so JM is off to a good start. Congrats again on a great buck.

Anyone hunt or see activity on their cameras lately? Hunted Fri morning and just saw the one doe about 7:50am. Camera didn’t have much on them except a shooter Buck that we have never seen before did show up about 6pm on the 15th. Hope he sticks around obviously.

Outside of that only a few other Buck pics, and doe activity was slow too.

Activity around my place seems pretty much the same other than bachelor groups breaking up. It appears some bucks have left, but there’s a few new dinks moving through.

I’m still trying to justify the drive up just to fill feeders, because there’s nothing on camera that makes me want to get in a stand. My wife is starting to think something is wrong with me.
