After bickering last week about the lack of pictures on my trailcam, it finally came through for me this week.
We had quite a few does on the cam, which is good, because where there are does, there will eventually be bucks. And we also captured this little guy as well. I know he is young, but for a young buck his rack is already growing quite nicely. A few more years, and you never know what he could turn into.
I was pretty happy to see some positive results from the new area’s where we put stands. We did move the camera away from them for now, though, so that they have some time to settle down before season finally arrives. I so cannot wait for opening day.
On another note-this past weekend Jeff and I practiced up a bit for our Cinder Block Smash that is coming up this weekend, as well as for our 3-D shoot, that will take place a week from Saturday. I’m happy to report that the practice session went well. And you can see the positive results in the two pictures.
These shots were from 25yds, and I was pretty happy with how I shot. I’m sure, that come the moment of truth, it will be a little different story. But I feel pretty good about my shooting capabilities at this moment in time. Not that they can’t be humbled a bit when the shoots actually take place. It’s all about having fun anyway, right?
Things are really starting to pick up speed in our outdoor world’s. Throw a new baby arriving into the mix and we have a pretty exciting time coming up.
Stay tuned!

It looks like it will be an exciting season for all.
And I can’t wait to see the first picture of the new baby!
What an exciting time in your life! Good luck with the hunt, and the arrival of your baby.
That buck looks like it will be a good sized buck in a few years.
That group you got going there is nothing to sneeze at and that’s a fact. Nice shooting………
Shoot – 25 yards or 50 or 5…it doesn’t matter – that’s some shootin’ to make a guy feel pretty confident! Looks like you should be ready to get it done at the moment of truth.
Great pics… You’re telling me that you aren’t going to shoot that thing if he wanders by in bow range? Considering I have never shot a deer with an arrow, I think I would have to drop the hammer, I mean string!
