Well I need to update. Deer season was a little bit of a let down. I ended up shooting a 130" 3 1/2 yr 8 pt. Would have been a stud this coming season. Sad thing is I knew he was 130" and I still shot him. Oh well here his is

The trail pic of the buck a few days earlier

But by far the best thing that happened last year was watching and filming my fiance Tabitha take here first deer with a bow. My 150 and 170 kills didnt even compare to the excitement and thrill of this hunt. I am one of the luckiest men alive.

All in all it turned out to be a pretty good season.
This spring I have been lucky enough to pick up 8 sheds so far. Most all of them are bucks I know and cant wait to see how they shape up this year.
The first one of the year is from a buck I found the right side of last yr. Last years shed measured out to about 40" as a 2 1/2 yr old. This yrs left side was 57" or so with a busted brow. I walked up on this deer during season bedded with a doe. He's going to be a stud!!

Not going to go through the trouble of showing them all but here are 2 more I was extremely happy to find. The first is a 5 pt side off a buck we call pretty boy. I filmed my little brother miss this dude twice.


This shed might not seem special but man is it to me. This buck is going to be 3 1/2 this yr. I have probably 50 pics of this buck all over the place. He is going to be something special in 2 yrs. He doesnt have a nickname yet but we'll think of something.

Wow great season and totally nothing wrong with that buck!!! Awesome Tab shot her first one and also on video!!! Congrats to both of you!!Walt

That sounds like a pretty good season to me. Congrats!

Fine job and looks like 2009 is starting out good for you as well with the sheds. Still no luck here in Michigan with the shed hunting. But I am going to get my 11 year old son out with me this week, if it ever stops raining. Last spring he found both the sheds of the bucks I shot this season. And I still have not heard the end of that one yet.
