Got number 2 this morning! I was hunting my favorite spot as far as you can possibly get from our camphouse and not be hunting with demp17 and daffyducksworstnightmare. I sent an early text to my buddies to test my cell service, which is spotty depending on the weather. As soon as I looked up I had a doe flash through some thick stuff close to the bluff edge at the bottom of the wooded ridge I was on. I stared in that direction for about 5 minutes waiting for something to show, but it never did. Very shortly after, Jughead sent me a BOOM text with a pic of a nice bobcat he shot on the neighboring club to our west side. Two seconds later, at 0715, someone fired off on the club to our east and it sounded really close to me. Only 10 minutes later, I had a doe quietly slip in at 50 yards in the bottom below my ridge with this buck making enough noise with his movement to catch my attention. He wasn't really chasing her, just following behind her with varying speeds while she walked the entire time. When he got below me along the same trail where I first saw the doe, I macked him and stopped him in his tracks. One shot and he ran uphill about 30 yards, and no weiner dogs required. I only had one video of this deer and no pictures. CD had pics of him close to the time I had my video, and he has given me permission to use his pics for the before purposes (thanks Callie). Double click the first pic for video of him.         
If you want to always win, never play anyone better than you!

Congrats Casey, I saw him Saturday morning but just couldn't get a good enough look at him to tell if he was a shooter. He was slipping through the edge of a thicket about 3 minutes behind a doe. I I knew he was tall and tight and had atleast one kicker off his right G2... how long does it take you to put make up on in the morning ?

Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

Good Un! # 2 Love the fork and do-dads. I'd still like to know why those big uns' walk around in that big, wide open timber out there on CDs place. I'm starting to re-think the whole hunt in the thick stuff theory.

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.

Take your kids hunting instead of hunting your kids.
I'd rather be LOST in the woods than FOUND in the city.
Drive a hybrid, I need your gas.
Your mind is your primary weapon. Never let it get rusty.

Nice buck! You need to change your screen name to William Wallace, with the face paint.
