Hey team, hope everyone had a good Christmas and new year. I havent been in the woods thepast 2 weeks. Ive been spending time w/ my girlfriend and her family in New York for the holidays.

Season here in MO closes on January 15th. I have five days of hunting planned before it closes and Im still confident in scoring a buck. I have a couple hot spots for late season and optimism never hurt anyone.

Im still holding out for a 130" or bigger butthings might change if a 120" walks by again. Ive passed several 120's this year and last year but Im really feeling the urge to shoot a buck. I have at least 7 bucks on camera on the farm ill be hunting next week. Wish me luck!

If a 400+" buck walks out we might have a chance at this contest[:-]
