I just noticed the original pic was a little fuzzy, so I sharpened the image for you a bit. It reall brought the colors out and you can see the velvet better.
Well lets have the story, and what area are you hunting in. I didn't hunt when I lived in Ca, but if I ever go back....maybe I will get there before you....<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

The best of luck in all your hunting endeavors!!!

Well here is the story. Stationed in California for the USMC 2500 miles from my hometown of Connellsville Pennsylvania has been very difficult. But I did not let the miles separate me from my love of bowhunting. Hunting California has been very difficult and also very different. I had to travel four hours to shoot this buck. The season starts in early July here in the Northern Coastal area of CA. I was on the ground when I shot this 2X2 blacktail. He was traveling with another 2X2 buck. I just circled around these deer and got to where I thought they were headed, and sure enough they came within 25 yds of me. I shot this buck dead center in the heart, and he piled up within 25 yds. Hunting in California has been a challenging and rewarding experience, but I will finish my active duty in 2004 to return to Pennsylvania to continue my love of archery hunting. Although I still make it home for some of the hunting seasons. I just cant wait to finish my active duty. To return to my normal hunting conditions again. Thanks everyone on the forum, and GOD BLESS
