Scott,
Hearty congrats from “the couch”! Wish I could do that with my dad, I’m sure you’re enjoying every hunt with yours!

Scott & Paul did great this year! The 2020 deer season ended here very quietly which is always a good thing. A light haze over the maple grove that smelled remarkably like cigars...

Bet y'all had a great time back together. Great hunt as Scott so well documented and narrated. As I posted earlier, sorta brought back memories of BobinNH, who I'm sure was looking down on you guys.

I take it the cigars are a deer-victory-celebration in your area? I know a few that have had better days.  ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/G1lkbzX.jpg)

Very nice. That 8 is going to be a fuggin' monster next year - I'd never know though cause he wouldn't have seen Day 2. Envious of your Kansas Connection.

Skane, did your buck break off his G3 on the left side or did he try to grow a point there and it just petered out like they do some time? powdr

I look forward to your posts about this hunt every year. You really are fortunate to have such an incredible place to hunt. Spot-on in our fortune to hunt there. Finding an older buck there is rarely an easy task but it's easy to put in the time when you know there is a definite possibility of seeing one. And it's easy to be fooled by the younger bucks too - pretty easy to mistakenly shoot a 3.5 y/o if you don't get time to study them a bit. BTDT.

Looking at those deer on my computer instead of my phone makes me appreciate what you guys did! Those are great bucks and some absolutely gorgeous country! Well done gentlemen.
Camp is where you make it.

Some guys don't like trail cams because they don't see the deer on them during the season. I like to have them out because it helps me see what MIGHT come through when I'm in the bushes. If all I see are spikes and forks, it's hard to get motivated to keep after it. But if I know that big, rutty, stinky sumbitch is in there. I'll play in the woods for weeks if time allows.

Awesome write up and Great bucks as usual! Specs on Dads rifle? Looks awesome. 805--The rifle is a 7600 in 6.5C crafted by Nathan Chesney at Hillbilly Rifles. 20" bbl. Gray Ceracoat. Much lighter than a standard 7600. Leupold VX2, 2-7. I've taken several bucks and 'yotes with it and the 120gr TTSX. Paul
