A little velvet.. a Camera.. and Me..
 
This year has been odd for me.. just haven't been bit by the urge to get back into stand. But.. after 90 degree temps. dove with a brisk northern wind this evening I decided to get back out and track a buck I first ran into just last week. I figured he would be on the move.

I first saw him last Wednesday night nearly commit suicide in front of me.. I took a U'ee and ended up tracing back into the woods where he ran back into. 80 yards in.. and I ran into his bedroom.. and I knew it right away. Quickly I backed out and decided to return under better circumstances.. which a northern wind blew in tonight.

He's at least a 5 yr. old.. plainly seen by his belly even in mid-July. Super wide.. good mass.. but low tines. A perfect replica of a buck I killed about 1 mile away in 06'.. only he was smaller.. but still sported a 23" wide spread.

Interestingly enough his bedroom is about 1/4 mile from one of Justins haunts.. and I am thinking of seeking permission from the farm I saw him on tonight.

Notice the very large mid-July body and neck..!






Sorry the pic is bad.. he busted me and ran about 200 yds. away before I could take this photo.

Defintely a nice buck. And your right about the body, he's gonna be a bruiser this fall.

looks like he's gonna be a dandy! up here in Northern Wisconsin the antlers arent growing at all hardly... dono if that means the velvet will stay on longer now or what do u think?

Very nice deer...I couldn't get the one I took a pic of last night to look at me like that, he was too busy eating those beans. Good Luck.
