Thanks fellas....
Bishop's a crafty old fart....he turned 5-1/2 this year and is a perfect example of what most would call a "scrub" buck over the last 4 years.  He's always been narrow and tall....this year he carries lots of mass to go w/ narrow and tall.  That pic was from early July, so I'm anxious to find him again and see how he finished out w/ weeks of growing left to go...I'd love to shoot him as I have a ton of history with that deer.  I have hundreds of pics w/ him and the buck in my avitar together 2 seasons ago.  Hand is great today....I'm all good!  Prob hurt my pride more than anything....

When the bike rolled Scott kept yelling "Are you OK?" as loud as he could....to which I replied "Is your deer OK?"....we hollered this exchange back and forth at each other before he realized I was fine...LOL.

Good luck with him and glad you're good to go...I have a deer like Bishop here at the house that is 4 1/2. If I get a chance he isn't going to get any older. Go get him!

After a family emergency which pulled my wife to North Carolia for the week my duties of playing Mr. Mom ended on Sat and I was able to give my stand one last sit prior to pulling it and the camera on this bean field.  
This is the last pic of the buck we now call "Morris" (after the 9-lives cat).  Pic was taken as he stood in front of me at 15 paces.

You prob can not see it since the pic has been conpressed, but against the tree line on the rt side of the pic is a 20" wide 10pt that was running w/ this deer that I was actually hunting.
I hunted this stand last nt in hopes of spying him, but much to my supprise I saw an even better site!  An absolute BRUTE of an 8-point that I have had pics of the last couple years.  I'm now excited to move my cams and get going on this buck.  Largest buck I've seen in a few years!
Stay tuned!

Do you think we need to shoot more does?  Gonna try to take 15 or so this year off this farm.

As TJ said "good on you Mike".

What goes around, comes around. No good deed goes undone.

Happy hunting...I think everyone on Trad Gang will agree, you and TJ keep us entertained with those Kentucky bucks you chase.
