2013 Bow Opener

Opening day and already the weather doesn't want to cooperate... darn rain.  At least I was able to hunt in the morning and managed to see several deer.  I had a Spike Buck and a fawn walk within feet from the tree I was sitting in and saw several deer throughout the morning.  Early on, I was able to spot what I thought was the Bent Horn Buck at ~ 220 yards away.  He was grazing on an alfalfa field and left within minutes of good shooting light.   I had one doe within range (35 yds) but am waiting a bit longer before using an intensive harvest tag.
Since my last post, I have acquired  a Bushnell Trophy HD trail camera and am very impressed with the Quality of Video.  Currently, I have an old Moultree Camera, the Cuddeback Attack IR and this new Bushnell Trophy HD.

Its been a couple weeks since last checking my cameras but the Bent Horn Buck, the Big Eight and some new bucks make an appearance!  Pictures & Videos Below
