Sunday - June 21, 2020:
First, let me start off by saying, 'Happy Father's Day to all the great dads out there! I wish all of you a very peaceful and enjoyable day today with your loved ones!
Secondly, since this is my special day 'TOO' as a father, I cared to kick off my '2020/2021 Deer Season' journal much earlier this year.
I intend to post as often as I can regarding my new 20/21 deer season. Everything and anything I can think of related to my deer season, including all preparation stuff between now, up to the official opening day and throughout the entirety of my hunting season, such as anything to do with trail cameras, mock scrapes, tree stands, anytime being afield hunting/scouting and so on and so forth, I'll document those events and share them, right here within my journal. I intend to be as transparent as possible with hopes that maybe someone could possibly learn something from either my mistakes, any & all experiences and/or successes.
Last year's deer season I shared a good portion with all you. Especially for those that cared read and following along and/or partake in sharing your own opinions and/or expertise, with the hope I'm sure, for me to become a more successful and better hunter overall. I appreciated all those that participated, thank you!
I really enjoyed all the interaction and I truly do appreciate being apart of the 'TOO' family.
A special shout out to Jesse & Joe for this fantastic virtual deer camp and making me feel welcomed. I appreciate it fellas, thank you!
Now, much like last season, I'll be as thorough as possible and I certainly hope NOT to bore anybody.
I want my journal to be completely interactive for all members to partake in. So, if anyone wishes to critique, suggest and/or share an opinion, please feel free to do so, because I 'TOO' hope to learn something new this year. The only thing I ask is, if you are going to be critical, please be thorough in your sharing. I'd really appreciate it, thanks!
I don't consider to be the savviest person around within the digital world nor do I care to be. This is the only open forum that I participate in and only one of two social media platforms that I have accounts to.
That said, I wish all 'TOO' members great success in all your hunting adventures and may you always make it home safely to your family!

Okay, now that my introduction is done and out of the way, this will be my very first 'Wildlife 2020/2021 Deer Season' journal post and I hope someone here can help me figure out whether or not this buck is of the same buck from last season?
He visits my feeder regularly now verses last season.
I believe he is of the same buck, but I'm not absolutely certain just yet because I believe his antler growth is still a little bit premature for me to confirm it.
I'll also say that I have more bucks this year showing up at the feeder regularly than last and I believe I have more deer altogether as well. I've been maintaining my feeder all year long and no doubt that has made a big difference in the increase activity that I see on my trail cameras today. There isn't a day that goes by where I have non-visitors, which includes many deer, raccoons,squirrels, rabbits, birds, including wild turkeys.
Like I said, I will share as much as possible throughout my deer season going forward even though I'm busier more this year than the previous.

Today's trail camera still photographs of a possibly the same 10 point buck:
So, what do you think? Same buck or not or too early to tell yet?
