Thnx Kelly. Well, you know the deal, I may never see any of these guys after the MD season opens. After a few years of doing some managing on the properties, and after years of trail camera evaluations on the same properties, Ive definately noticed the older bucks dont mingle much with the younger bucks or in large social hang out areas even inearly summer.And Ive seen some cool stuff every year around this time on my cameras, the older bucks arealreadyby themselvesand seem to do drive bys occassionaly showing themselves just to do a quick last minute herd check, maybe sizing up the competition? Dont know, but all season I wont see the big boys very often, and right around now I get a few pics of them right before they seem to dissapear, rarely showing themselves in daylight until the rut.

Here is a video of the buck I shot in 2006 I had trail camera pics from 2005 thru his death

I decided not to target aspecific buck this year and just shoot what I think will make me happy.

This is the main target

This is probably the deer that I will try to take this year.




Here is a pic of the one I took last year.




This pic is off of another guys trail cam from the same day.

Now Andy.....

You tell Mr. Copeland "his" bucks are old hat for you.....and you've got 'em a lot bigger than he does running around for you to hunt all season.

Then tell him a 110"er is a MONSTER, to me.

Stand sites chosen with that in mind.

(Good luck, buddy)

I will be paying some attention to this guy:

These are all potential victims from one property. I have some others I've got my eye on from other properties, but no pics of them.









This one has grown quite a bit since the picture.

I don't have a trail cam..but this buck I've been eyeing on is a wide 10 point..with long times...in a FLorida WMA..He must be a grandfather..He's about 180 pounds..I got within 20 yds last year but had no time to scope him..I called him in on a Primo's "Can"...I've since taken the scope off.If I arrow him..I'll be on cloud 999.
