No, not a cell cam....... Here is a picture of him this past season. Danny V

Yes....I think it is very early....this buck only shed his antlers about 2 weeks ago. I have a close relationship with this buck.....I passed him up 3 seasons ago, hit him 2 seasons ago and I wasn't able to hunt him this year due to flooding, but have hundreds of pictures of him....this season, from velvet to the rut. He hangs out in a residential area until the first or second week of October, and then he travels miles in a couple directions. Thoughts on starting to grow already ?? Danny V

When are the finals, .....and what channel will be covering it ??? Thanks !!

I didn't know about this hunt....but driving into the city 6 days a week...there is a good sized billboard , just past Giants stadium on rt. 3 east about "stopping the backyard deer hunt" in Saddle River........Now I know what they were talking about.

I wrestled varsity from 1974 to 1977............if there was even a question from the ref.....my coach would have shaved my head and my whole body.........and my parents and me would not have said a word...........yes... times have changed, but I am still a better person for it. Danny V

I have been on 2 kayak fishing trips to Alaska....remote is an understatement......camping on an Island for a week and the other time was unguided in a state owed cabin.......looking to get back again....SOON !!!! Danny V

That looks great !! Here is something that I did that came out pretty good...(at least I think so)....LOL....I split a cedar branch and have a matching set on the other side of the room. Danny V

I pulled the camera this morning.....nothing great, but I think this is a pretty cool picture......I guess all 6 deer saw something coming !! LOL Danny V

I have had to shoot a few deer like this over the years.......never once felt bad about using a tag......congrats on a great hunt, a great meal and doing the right thing !! Danny V

I tried checking out a new state land yesterday...had a spot that looked great on maps...got there and the road leading into the state land wasn't plowed.......tried from the other end of the land...parked and walked to the spot and decided there was no way I could get a deer out by myself...ugh..getting old sucks. Went back to a different state land and found a swampy area only a few hundred yards from the lot with plenty of tracks in the snow......just hoping for the best and not too many guys. I never thought about how long a drag would be in the snow...but hunting solo and having 2 spine surgeries a couple of years ago......I have to be realistic about what I can do. Good luck to everyone !! Danny V

He will make a great mount of a memorable hunt !!!!!

Pretty cool picture of a doe in full flight.......Santa should thing about hiring this little girl !! LOL Danny V

You never know......here is a trail camera picture that I got this year.....This is a real "dirt nap"......he spent 15 minutes like this..... Danny V

Amazing buck Dan.......I am sure that you let plenty of good ones pass before taking this one.

Here is a picture of one of my spots....this picture was taken from the same tree of the first picture in my post !! LOL
