The Hunt Never Ends....
AJ, a buck that I have followed now for 3 years showed back up on the cameras this week...and bigger than ever. This deer is a weird one....very timid, and generally always by himself. All of the photos I have of him, he's staring intently at the camera as if he knows he's being watched.
As the years have went by, his home range has continued to move westward.....not a lot, but enough that I won't get him on my east cameras any longer. I'm hoping that he stays right where he's at now, but he'll likely head south once the fall rolls around and be on the neighbors where I'll only be hunting the fringes of his home range. I'll keep my fingers crossed he'll stick tight.....have a few tricks (plots, mock scrapes) up my sleeve I'm gonna try that may keep him here.
Any guesses on what he'll score this year once he's completely filled out?
2011- 4.5yrs old; We saw him multiple times from the stand this particular year.

2012- 5.5yrs old; No sightings on the hoof, all night photos during the season.

2013- 6.5yrs old
