I went Saturday morning.....with the full intention of taking a doe. Well....the scenario every "Murphy" fan would describe, unfolded. I saw 6 deer.......the last of which was the only one that presented a shot opportunity. Problem......NO TAG for the bull of my woods. This is the deer that I hit and injured on day 4 of our archery season. I saw him the day after Thanksgiving....but I honestly thought my neighbors had poached him. It was a GREAT way to end an awesome season.

I'll gather in the stands, this week/weekend.....and start getting ready for gobblers. I know the photo is blurry.....but this guy's the bull of my woods. It was a pleasue just to SEE him, again.

I know, sometimes, it's hard to judge whether a deer is 1-1/2; 2-1/2; etc...BUT....you absolutely KNOW when you've encountered a MATURE BUCK. This guy is a mature buck....we have a history....and it will be a PLEASURE to pursue him again, next season.



I hope everyone had as fulfilling a season as I did (or ....you're still HAVING). Good luck to everyone.

Sincerely,

Jeff
