Week 2 GA Buck Body Shot“This is a South Georgia buck I have a couple years of history with,” Thompson wrote. “Unfortunately, I made a poor shot on him last September with the bow, but luckily he has returned, and bigger than ever. As you can see these photos were taken July 3, 4 and 5.
Week 2 GA Buck Add“This buck lives in a short pine thicket, and likes to travel through 60 acres of thinned pines to nearby ag fields (peanuts and corn),” Thompson continued. “I hunt the edge of his bedding area, trying to catch him cruising for does. I’ve also included a hard-antlered photo [see below] of him from last year, taken last Dec. 16.”
