Not to bad for the first check. This is a area I found on our farm last year and killed a nice buck with my wheelie bow before making the switch to trad gear. Its right in the edge of bedding area. The area I hunt was logged about 3 years ago and the rest of the bedding area was logged 10 or 12 years ago. Its terrible thick. This stand site has a cluster of oaks that were left. September 1st can't get here soon enough.
#1 looks like he injured a horn when they first started growing. I think he will make the short list. He should be cool after he finishes.
#2 This is the only picture I got of this guy. I hope to get some more as summer goes on. I'm positive I'd shoot this deer given the chance.
#3 Still young but we will see. I'm not a trophy hunter by most folks standards and I'm looking for my first buck this year with Trad Gear.
