I'm fired up!

I went to the farm this evening to try and shoot a hog, been having some fields rooted up and was gonna try to nip that in the bud. They've been coming about 30 minutes before dark going off the cameras, but of course they didnt show this evening. But I did lay eyes on 5 bucks, I've been seeing most of them on camera as well. 3 1.5 year olds, a 3.5 year old and 2 older mature bucks.. the bigger of the 2 mature bucks hasn't been on camera in 4 weeks. Anyways I was worried he may have moved on, last week going to check cameras I cut a big set of tracks in a place I hardly ever see deer about 300 yards from where the other bucks frequent. It's a small little finger of grass and other browse between an oak island and big open timber. Every time I go check these cameras or try to shoot a hog I park next to this oak island. Anyways it was close to dark so I headed for the truck. Got about 80 yards from the truck and who do I see not 50 yards from the truck? He's added a good bit in the last month and now I got an idea on how to kill him. I sat down and waited til it was completely dark and made a loop around to my truck. We have rain chances in the morning so I'm considering sliding in early and hanging a camera to see how often he uses that little spot. Tried to film some, but it was so dark you cant tell much. It's late, but all I can do is think about how to kill this deer, got about 5 weeks til season opener so I've got some time to keep tabs on him. He'd be my best by far with a bow, and possibly bigger than my biggest buck. Let the cat and mouse games begin

You should be fired up. You got something on your hit list to chase. Good luck and don't give him too much warning that you are coming.

The pictures that are not in total view are always best. Leaves imagination to wonder. Good looking buck.

Thanks lou! It rained all morning so I slipped in and hung a camera, hopefully can determine a little better if theres a consistent route he's coming in on. Also gonna try to go glass from a distance in the evenings a few days a week and keep tabs on him and the others around.

For sure! This is another I grabbed from the video, makes the mind really wonder he's a solid deer though and I'd be very happy to put a tag on him
