Well, the season’s been open now for 5 days. I’ve been 2-3 times so far but haven’t seen anything worth shooting. I’ve got one big 5-pt cull that should be shot but it’s been just too hot to mess with him. Weather the last few days has been somewhat unsettled, a fair amount of rain scattered across the area. Looking for some high pressure with less humidity. Later…

Starting to get a few good bucks on trail camera but their horns still have more growth to put on. Seems like they are behind last year’s pace in antler development. I believe last year this time I was seeing bucks already fully developed, or maybe it just seems that way. You can follow the development of one particular buck in my Trail Cam 2012 gallery. Later…

Just checked my trail cameras and had a pleasant surprise. Not only did I get some good pictures of the buck I’ve been following, and he’s spreading nicely, I also got some pictures of a new buck, the largest I’ve seen so far. Check them out in the 2012 Trail Cam gallery. Later…
