Well, I finally got a pretty good 8 point buck here in Franklin County, Virginia this year. He was in rut and chasing several does when I got him. My son was with me at the time which made it pretty special. I only wish he could have gotten a shot at him. He was a little too far away for the open sites he was using through the woods for him to get a clean shot.

Well, I have not posted on here in quite a while, so I thought this would be a good way to start. Our buddy Dale got this nice 8 point buck in Franklin County on the opening day of muzzle loader season. That's not a bad way to start off the year. Hope we can keep it going.

I thought these clouds made for an interesting picture this morning. My son made the comment they looked like a bunch of cotton balls.

My favorite season is once again rapidly approaching. The nights and mornings are starting to have that cool crisp feeling, and the brilliant fall colors are once again about to paint the scenery here in Virginia, and it goes without saying that I am eagerly awaiting the opening of hunting season. I am going to try to be a bit more diligent with the updating of this blog this season, so check back often. Big deer and brilliant colors to come.
