Man, you're right on the money. In 2012, everything exploded, and that year, I finally got the monkey off my back. That deer, the way I killed him, made me realize how my strategies up to that point had caused me to fail at many prior hunts. That deer taught me a lot and have had a lot of success since then.

2019 was also a devastating EHD year for us in our local herd. Since then, I have been relying heavily on leases in E TN with my FIL. I think this year we should be back to full throttle in Hickman with our local herd.
