The Skinning Rack....part II

First up to bat at the Skinning Rack is Will Thomas and a passel of young'uns! Being the awesome dad he is, Will took daughters, Adickes and Leighton along with Banks (a friend of the family's) to the woods in Yazoo county. As it turned out, those kids were better than any pack of hounds - Will shot a doe and small rack buck in one sitting! As if that wasn't good enough, Will took his daughters back to the woods (to the same stand, mind you) and harvested an awesome 14 point! I think he is going to have the girls a couple of custom made safety harnesses and climbers so they can hunt everywhere with daddy!







Next is Scott Berry. Scott has had a stellar season. The first buck photographed below was harvested on public land in the MS delta while the other two were on private land along the MS River.







Doug Baldwin harvest this cull, that's right - CULL, off an exclusive hunting club on an island in the MS River. Nice to have friends in high places!



Introducing.....Benjamin Wiley! Benjamin harvested his first of what is sure to be many, many deer. He was with his dad, Tom, hunting on their family farm in Starkville, MS. Now that you've got deer hunting figured out Benjamin, its time to get ready to take on Ol' Gallberry Joe!



Meet Scott Watkins. Scott and I have been going to church together for years now but have never really gotten to know one another. After a nudge from a mutual friend of ours, Scott and I made plans to take to the woods together in search for Scott's first whitetail. Well, we've since found Scott's first, second and third whitetail and he is hooked to say the least! One thing is for sure....my brother can shoot!
Here's to many more days afield Mr. Watkins!!





Here's a group of CATS if I've ever seen one! Gary Simon recently invited a group of friends hunting on his property in Leake county. Some were hunting for meat, some for horns but all were there for fun. From the looks of this photo, I'd say they were most successful!!!!



Gary later went back out to his place and was rewarded with a much deserved SAD DADDY! This was Gary's biggest buck to harvest on his place. The buck had 12 points and lots of mass.



Jonathon Breakfield harvested this buck on January 16th. He named in Sky Scraper for obvious reasons. Talk about down to the wire; Jonathon's wife is due to deliver their second child this week and this was his last hunt of the season. Pretty good way to cap things off!
