the 1st muzzeload season has come and gone. as usual i got my first buck of the year in the muzzeload. this season is always good to me. i take a deer in this season every year. this year the buck i took was a nine point. too small to be called a trophy and too big to be called just a meat deer. he was average. the big bucks on the lease are in hiding due to the gas exploration going on on every inch of the lease. but surprisingly i saw many deer. does and small bucks are all over our feeders. it is due to lack of acorns from the late freeze this spring. i feel the deer are in for a hard winter this year with so few acorns. where there are does there are bucks to follow come the rut. there in lies my hope of a big boy this year as we have lots of does. i just have to be at the right spot.the buck haven stand has proven to be awsome so far. after moving it off the draw down into the pine thicket it has improved 90% not only do the deer seem more than willing to visit this stand i feel better about my concealment in it as well. i have always dreamed of finding that magical spot that you would see a buck every time you hunt it and so far i have found it!!!! the muzzeload season had the best weather i can remember for a first muzzeload season. the youth hunt is up week end after next. i have seen the buck i hope for my son to get and i look foward to it. going to try and bow hunt some between now and then. by the way i also stuck a doe from the buck haven stand. i lost blood on her and lost her. so far she is the only doe i have seen from that stand.

we went today and got the rifles lined up and let the kids practice for next weekends youth hunt. the kids shot very well indeed. i am very very pleased by the trail cam photos. there are smaller bucks at all the stands and lots of does so it should be a very successful hunt for the kids. i am really excited about it. will post again when the smoke clears next weekend.
