An awesome 10!

Some recent footage pulled from the video cam of a world class whitetail in velvet that has a potential to go 200″ as a typical!

Everything happened fast from the time of seeing him next to the truck, getting the camera up and him disappearing around the corner so the footage is a little blurry!

I ran 4 cameras on this farm for only 2 weeks and I’m VERY pleased with the results!!  This just goes to show what happens with good management and a non-hunting neighbor!!

40+/- Acres For Sale in Schuyler County, Illinois

It felt REAL good to get back in the field looking for my favorite critter (BIG VELVET BUCKS)!  Even though this one isn’t the biggest guy on the block he was a lot of fun to see and photograph!  Even now in early summer when even the most mature bucks are visible during daylight hours, they are still ever so cautious!  I had a marginal wind for this spot, but decided it was worth the risk and he hit my scent stream like a brick wall!  I still have to get within 50-60 yards for a good close portrait, even when shooting with a 600 mm lens! I’ll be letting this area rest for AWHILE after this stunt!

I’ll be posting new images as I get them but there will be a short break due to a coming move to the Peoria county area!! (bigger and better bucks I hope!)
