Mike, good luck bud...I sure hope you make it 2 yrs. on a row killing a great buck!!

Thanks Curt. I believe the hunt will be exciting by itself. To harvest him would be a bonus.

Never do get daytime pics this time of year in this particular area. He has been seen in the bean field in the daytime but most of our bucks we get pics of at night during the summer months. Too hot to travel in daylight. But when the season gets closer they stay in the fields longer. Early season in this area has given me and Ben some really nice bucks. If you read through some of our kills in years past you will notice that several of them are right at daybreak. Good question David.

good deer bro! looks to be genetic relation to Ben's big un...exceptional tine length and nice beams. i will send you pics of the beast im chasing if i manage to kill him. good luck, keep us posted.

He could very well be from the same gene pool. After years of management we are finally getting the class bucks like you kill up in those Minn. woods. just not near as many!!!! Good luck on your biggun Pete.

He's a beast. Hope you get your shot at him.
