Video Update

Eric and I doing a little doe shooting one night a week or so ago. It sure makes it a lot easier having someone there to run the camera instead of trying to do it yourself. I shot the first one and there was one that didnt run to far off and we got her too.

Nancy shot this 7 point last week, the night before he was chasing some does around and I got some good video of him. I will try to get it up this week.


Aaron leech shot this 9 point on a neighboring property. This buck spent a considerable amount of time on our property given all of the motion camera pictures we got of him. PS. Don't leave your buck laying around where people regularly pick them up for the meat or you might be left missing something.

Outstanding Week!!!!

This opening week of firearm season has produced some good results for the hunt club. We have two very nice deer on the ground with a lot of good hunting time left and big bucks running around. Check back soon for some additonal video and motion pictures of these guys.

Monday morning, our opening morning, Mitch caught this 9 point chasing some does through the brush in front of him and was able to make a nice shot with his muzzleloader. Mitch saw him fall within eyesite of his blind.

On Wednesday night Brian was just getting comfortable in his blind when this giant walked out onto the field. Brian wanted to make sure this was the buck he was looking for so he glassed him for a few minutes before attempting the shot. The story of this buck starts last year when it was passed up a couple of times as he had some great potential and probably would have been a 110"-120" buck. Well this year he put on some incredible mass, a couple stickers and a I dont care attitude. He has been spotted roaming the property and probably on motion cameras 20-30 times over the past couple months. Well 4 oclock yesterdy was his final mistake and Brian made the shot count with his muzzleloader. Even with little sign of blood from a high shoulder hit they were able to track him a short distance into the woods. Great job Brian, we are all really impressed with your field skills you have been working on the past couple years.

This is last year in September just coming out of velvet. You can see the kickers starting to develop on his G2's. Look at the mass he put on in 1 year of growth, this is why we need to let them go so they can grow!

Finally got a doe to cooperate with me and got a good shot on camera. Smoked her at about 20 yards and saw her crash down in the swamp about 75 yards away. Recovery was so much fun and reminded me why I dont shoot doe on the edge of the swamp.
