Great video. You both have nerves of steel. Two great bucks in a weeks time makes for some fond memories.

Humbling how calm you two were about your week... I was a mess to even see two deer of that caliber in one fridge. Congrats again
Thank you for sharing your hunts and videos with us. I smiled the whole time. Happy for you guys!

Thanks for dropping by, Dave. I enjoyed the visit!
Thank you all for the comments. I've passed them along to Mason. He's had a big day of story telling.
Fantastic reading and watching material for a rainy morning in the blind! It's a privilege to follow along with you two each year Brock. What you've taught Mason and the times you've shared outdoors are the things I wish my dad had done with me. You two are exemplary in your relationship as father and son, but also as friends. Congrats to both of you on a season of a lifetime for most, but what is sure to be the first of many more like it for you two!
Well done gentlemen!

Mason took his friend out in hopes of killing a deer. Coyotes ran off the only deer they saw. They are going back tomorrow morning. A good one has been in the area the last few mornings.

I forgot to add that I took Mason and a couple friends to a youth pheasant hunt today. They killed 6. Mason killed his two firing only two shots.

Thanks everyone.
Mason took his buddy, Josh out tonight. They hunted the stand Mason killed his first buck from a few years ago. They had a 140 sneak in, but they spooked him before a shot was fired. I sneaked around a bit, missed a squirrel with dad's bow, but not by much and it was a fairly long shot. I only saw one doe, at last light and I did not have a shot.
I'm planning to roll out of bed early to head up to Fayette for a couple hours. I can't stand the thought of not seeing them if they decide to come out and play tomorrow. I'll take Dad's bow and my handycam. I'd guess the cam will get a workout, the bow is just because you should have one when youre in the woods. :}

Over slept today. No big deal. Rainy, nasty day. I'll set the alarm again tomorrow. Mason is taking Josh to a blind tonight.

Incidentally, I think this is the deer Mason killed the other day. If so, he grew about 20" from last year. I taped him before hauling him to the taxi, and if I remember correctly, he scored 152 2/8".... Boarhead, 2/8". ha. He was pretty happy the tape came out with a bigger number than ol dad's deer. Funny, seeing them side by side, his is obviously more impressive. Mine had 12 scoring points, his only 8, but they added up substantially better.

I rolled out late today. It was light enough to see silhouettes when I headed for the stand. I saw 5 on the way. Once I arrived I saw a lot of cool stuff during the hour I was there. Some dandy bucks, and a gobbler. Wish I could have stayed longer. Saw three really nice ones, and five young bucks. No tag, no problem. My little video cam is so much fun. I had no idea that deer had a drop tine until I watched the video.
