Turkey season just a couple of days away. Hope you’re more prepared than I am. I’ve hardly scouted at all. Just a lot of stuff going on but I’ll probaly be after one Monday morning. Hope to get a little video for the site this season. Will keep you posted on my progress. I am continuing with my Hi-pro feeding and am starting to see some nubs on some bucks. I plan to track one particular buck as his horns develope. This buck has a very distinct mark on his left side. Looks like some kind of scar about 6-8 inches right behind his shoulder. Should make him easy to identify. I plan to create a new 2012 trail cam photo gallery and post pictures of this buck as he developes. Should be interesting. Later…

It’s been awhile since you’ve heard from me. The reason is simple- I haven’t been doing anything since December. Well, I’ve been doing a little but not much. I did get my stands down and have already moved a couple to new trees for next season. Also, I have been feeding hi-pro supplemental feed but there’s not a lot to show from my trail cams. Have photos of a couple of bucks that still have horns but most of what I see are does and bucks which have shed their antlers. I’ll continue to feed and check my trail cams. As soon as I start seeing some new antler growth I’ll start posting pictures. As far as the thunder chickens go I’m seeing plenty of them just about everywhere. Even have a few big longbeards coming to my back yard every day. Later…

Well, another season is in the books. When I consider big buck encounters this season will go down as one of the best I’ve ever had. However, when I consider results it’s pretty much a mixed bag. I killed three good bucks, one of which is at the taxidermist, and a couple of big does. My last kill was a doe on December 30th ( video is posted ). On the down side I did miss two good bucks that I sure hated to miss. I guess in the final anaysis it is really all about the encounters. I hope you had a good season as well and you enjoyed following my experiences through the website. I guess I’ll start some supplemental feeding shortly and checking trail cameras to see what made it through the season. I had encounters with a couple of great bucks that I hope made it through. Stay tuned for trail cam photos and, take comfort, turkey season will be here before you know it. Later…

Well the season is winding down fast. In fact, for the most part catching a good buck in the daylight will be difficult at best. I’m still getting a number of really good bucks on trail cam but primarily after dark. Did catch a pretty good buck at 7:30 in the morning about a week ago. Happened to be a stand with very little pressure on it. I’ll keep going some if only to take a doe or two. Would like to get another kill of some kind on video for the website. Stay tuned. Later…
