Made it to the farm today

Sometimes a big 8 will give a reason to get out of bed on cold mornings.

Buddy and I were just talking today how there is just something special about a big 8

He still looks young!

He sure does. But he’s surrounded by corn and to set in his ways to walk a mile for a lush bean field.

Like to see him in 2 years.

Yep, he has great potential. I got one that is a bit thinner in the bases......but I was hoping to see him in another year or two also. Up here on the tundra we get lots of little basket rack bucks. Problem here is....that he will never make it for another year. Too many will take him out. Same old saw.......I'm torn between shooting this buck this fall.....or letting him walk for my neighbors.

EDIT: The good thing is....that with improved nutrition.....we are finally getting some wide and tall racks around here. Maybe I will live long enough to realize my dreams? One can hope.

Gotta shoot the best the neighborhood has to offer Foggy. Otherwise it's not fun..

Friend of mine took his oldest son to my place yesterday. Got his first turkey.

Congrats to the young man, and he did it blindfolded.
