Easton loves deer!!!!

Easton was really excited to hold my deer head. Casey said his first word was buck! He's gonna be a natural. I can't wait till I can climb a tree with that little man .

Doe down! Number 3

Shot a doe opening day of gun season with my bow. Yes I did say my bow.

Bucking Awesome

Put the buck head in the newly purchased Buck boiler that dad bought and it's awesome. Let it cook over night and then took to the carwash to finish. Easiest boil we have ever done.

A day to remember....

November 9th, 2013 will be a day that will not soon be forgotten. After a wonderful couple of weeks with the birth of my beautiful baby girl, I was able to climb up a tree again on a warm but beautiful fall day. The morning started off slow with only a few turkeys and no deer seen in the stand. The evening was more of the same, until 4:30 when a deer we knew well showed up. I ended up killing the biggest deer I have ever killed, and it finally came after hundreds and probably thousands of hours in a tree and over 10 years. It was a good day to be a bowhunter. Trying not to get too sappy but to us guys who are bowhunters know what this means. And to the guys who have been involved in all the work put in at Osceola in food plots, brush cutting , pushing walnuts trees off the walnut grove when it's 100 degrees, tractor work and cabin building...We did it! Some of the pics aren't great from the trail cams but here they are. We have pics of him this year and will post soon.

This is him last year in December.

First time his anthers were you touched. 

He scores in the upper 130s

And I need to give a special thanks to my beautiful wife for letting me do what I love to do! Thanks baby ! I love you!

November 4th-mistaken identity

My target buck has a bummed front leg. Evidently there were two deer that had bummed front legs.  My target buck lives on and this unfortunate deer with a limp fell to a case of mistaken identity. Grunted in while hunting over a clover food plot.

Deer pics

Dad went up and checked the cameras and we got several bucks cruising the 31 acres. Food plots seem to be making a difference.

'South food plot'

Checked it today after work...lots of punch marks in it. Its gonna be me and my trusty hoyts job to defend it from over browse.

Food plot progress to the north

Food plots look like they are going to make it through. I only had time to check one food plot this weekend but the rest should be growing good,  too.  Had one interesting picture on a trail camera.

Food plots

The food plots are growing good. We have had some good rains and good weather for the mix of oats , wheat and turnips to grow .
