The photo that fires you up before season.....
« on: August 31, 2012, 09:19:00 PM »
How about some photos from last season scouting /trail cams or memories that get you fired up for the 2012 hunt...

I have seen his rubs and tracks in the Michigan State land I hunt...yet to see him in good light.

Found this the last day of season last year. I have a good idea who it belongs to.

K.S TRAPPER,
I'm sorry to see the genetics aren't very good in your area.   :laughing:

I sure hope You put that poor buck out of his misery Tracy. His neck has to hurt so bad from holding that rack up all day.

This is one of my best memories.  I thank God for days like this.  It's not always about filling a tag. (although those moments are pretty special as well!)

I had the one on the right at twenty yards last year, no shot because of too many branches.  He was killed during rifle season by a neighbor.

The one on the left made it through the winter.  I only have one photo of him this year, in late may he was already out past his ears.  I have never seen the buck on the left in daylight but have lots of pictures of him at night.

Jim, I like the looks of that cougar.  Looks like a tough, strong cat.

Thanks for the comments guys. He was about 30 yds.  Photo taken in the southern zone. Another buck was already wearing my tag that year.
elkbreath, Your photos just made me thaw out my last backstrap!
KS trapper,  That deer is AWESOME! Good luck to everyone this season.  God bless.

Not a photo from a trail cam or a scouting trip of mine, but a photo which is my all time favorite photo that gets my adrenalin flowing for bowhunting is a photo of another bowhunter (not of me) on his bowhunting trip.
