Weekly Harvest

I have to say, this week, I’ve been pretty pumped. My card pull this past weekend revealed a few nice bucks in velvet, and I had a sighting of a nice velvet buck while mowing the clover field. I also picked up my Ohio hunting license, so I’m locked in for a few trips to the buckeye state this fall. But the cherry on top of this week was the fact that a hunt I’ve been wanting to do for a while is finally coming together with a great group of guys. I’ll share more details as it gets closer, as this hunt is a little more than a year away—but I am pumped.

This weekend I’m off to the mountains for some good food, good drink and hiking. But as always, I’ll leave you with this week’s best deer related articles from the world whitetail web!
