During the past week we have pulled a few more cards and been very pleasantly surprised to see "First Pull" show up on a new salt like and hitting it multiple times.  "FP" is a buck we had nicknamed "Big 7" last year.  Bo and another hunter on our property both had encounters with this buck during last years season, but decided let him walk.  He had the body of a mature whitetail, but his rack last year just did not seem to match his body.  We were really hoping he would hit his potential this year.....and it's amazing what a difference a year can make.  Here are a few pictures of FP during the 2009 season.

This year, First Pull has simply exploded.  Its tough to get a good idea of a gross score when they're still in velvet, but we're thinking that he should be in the mid 140s as a main frame seven point.  He has three or four good kickers that are also helping bring up the total.  It is going to be a lot of fun watching FP develop over the season and hopefully we can get him patterned by using trail cams and have a good shot at him come September.
