Now, I am getting excited

I know that today marks the start of bear season, but nothing get me more excited than seeing bucks on the trail cameras, especially when they are the deer that you have been after for multiple seasons!  I can not wait til opening day of rifle season.  Meat is meat and I will be grateful to fill the freezer, but those two big bucks… they would be a feat!

From the look at this picture, this is the ‘smaller’ of the two large bucks that we have around.  Fingers crossed that this season, we can give you a close up picture!
