I dont post or contribute as much as I used to. You know how it is life just seems to get in the way sometimes. I always manage to check in once or twice a week to see how you guys are doing. :) Now a days I spend most of my free time practicing and trying to get better. I am constantly trying to be the best whitetail hunter I can be. Well tonight all my hard work finally paid off .

Im not going to drag this out to long so I will get right to it. For the past 5 or 6 years I have really learned a lot about deer hunting. Here are a few points that helped me a bunch:
1. If you want larger bucks you have to let the small guys walk.
2. Never Never Never ever hunt a stand or blind with a bad wind. (Practice Scent Control)
3. If you want to be good with Trad gear, you have to practice and put in the time.
4. Pre-season Preparation is essential to being successful. Its about getting close, so you have to put the time in to figure it all out.

I have been running cameras in the area since about late July. I had a bachelor group of 5 bucks that were running together, but all the pictures were at night. There were 2 shooters in this group. One was a mainframe 10 the other was a tall 8 point. About a week ago they started showing up on camera about 7:00pm almost a full hour before dark. Our season opened on Saturday and it was hot as everything, and we had a southeast wind. I needed a west or NW wind to hunt this particular spot. I was lucky enough to get that last night.

I got in the stand at 3:00 pm. At 7:10 on the dot the 2 shooter bucks came in. The 10 was in the lead and walked right in like he was on a string, he gave me a 12 yard broad side shot. I concentrated on my spot and my arrow was away, I saw the feathers disappear into his rib cage. He ran about 40 yard and stopped. In a few seconds he tipped right over. I was so excited I could hardly climb down out of the tree.
