Sorry for the absence of late brothers and sisters, work took a drastic change and my plate has doubled in the last month and a half. With the additional stress, I just couldn't devote any time on the computer for anything other than work. Figure it's time I get back in the saddle over here....
Bowseason starts Saturday here, thought I'd post a few recent pics from some of my game cams on my farm here:
This is a pretty good buck for my part of the country (and the two others in the pic are just icing). This is in a spot we call "sanctuary," the stand is a 12 yard shot to where the buck is standing. Hope he'll stick around for the St. Jude's hunt here....

for this clutch from earlier this spring, found about 20 yards up that hollow behind the turkey.

Welcome back JC. I had a bad run with work for about 4 years but most of that is behind me I hope. That is a nice buck for your part of the state. I hope whomever gets it really appreciates it and know just how special one is that size from around there. Go into those woods and breathe deep my friend for it is now our time.
Nice! :thumbsup:
Good luck to you and Chase. Can't wait to see his pic and give him a "congrats" on the first deer. CK
