So after taking Tree-Shaker on Friday night, I returned to the woods with my second tag. The morning had a light frost and slight Easterly winds that slowly built intensity during the morning. I was sitting in a favorite walnut tree that was in medium cover between two large areas of intense thickets. Again this subtle transition area in the thick terrain usually shows increased deer movement. I saw two different does getting chased by several different bucks. I called in a couple bucks using wheeze calls as well as grunting. I filmed some of the 2 or 3 year olds when I could, but always kept my bow in my other hand incase a mature buck presented. At 9:50 I saw the 12th buck of the morning pop up over a spoil 70 yards away. It was Twister! We were worried that he would break off some of his longer tines in confrontations with heavier bucks, but this was not the case.

I nocked an arrow and let out two soft grunts. I am not sure if he heard them or just followed a natural crossing pattern over the spoil banks like I have seen many other bucks due in the past, but he was coming my way. I remember he had a slight limp as he climbed up the final spoil. He stood there for a bit, then made a 90 degree turn and headed east on the spoil ridge top, crossing about 15 yards from my tree. I tried to hold for a 5 count, but the arrow was gone at about three (which was long for me). I got a pass-through double lung hit. I tracked him up and down spoils and through some very thick under brush before finding him. Oh what a great feeling again!!!
This is where I found him laying.

Scott- I do self-taught taxidermy and you can see from some of the heads from 20 years ago I improve slowly. Ha! I do not have a busness, and only mount my own stuff. You can also see that I had the room built with three sky lights and other big windows. This lets in a lot of light which looks great, but unfortunately the UV fades the hair on the mounts. If I did it over, I would rethink that.

Does anyone ever tint their sky-lights to reduce UV, but still let some white light through? Is there an easy way to do it?

Mike my name is joe Paranee we meet at Denton hill this past year and I really enjoyed talking with you and Barry

Yes uv film on windows will save your mounts and furniture.

Many years ago I was noticing some fading I had a guy come in and do all my windows and sky lights with uv blocking film

It's been years and the fading issues are gone and you can't tell by looking at the windows anything was done

Truly the best way to go. This room is very bright and since the windows where filmed I have had not near the fading

Scott she's not to bad

When my kids go into other peoples homes they always look around and ask where all the dead animals

Scott do you have any expierence with the uv reducing film ? And if so what has been your expierence . I can definitely see a difference.

This foyer gets a ton of sun and so far I have not seen much signs of uv damage
