There are so many great bucks in that pedigree it will be hard to get them all in one name. So how about something like " A-List " or " Sam's Dream " Just a thought. But a name like " Timbo Impact " might cover them all.

I took my 10 year old daughter to one of Sams preserves this past weekend for a whitetail hunt while school was out. Sam never seizes to amaze me. We were there less than 24 hours, in that time Sam took care of, entertained and guided my daughter and 5 out of state hunters. He didnt just drop us off at a stand, he took us to a stand the first evening and then he climbed to the top of a 60 foot grain silo to glass the bottoms--sure enough- he spotted a good buck and came and picked us up on an ATV put Sis in position and we made a drive to her-Im not good on a computer, maybe Sam will post the pic. Every hunter that I have ever seen in Sams camp leaves with a smile and comes back to hunt again. Maybe hunting inside a fence isnt as challenging, but I have hunted for 30 years and never killed a 240" buck like she did this week. The smile on my daughters face said it all. This isnt her first buck She has went with me on several cold, long hunts and her first buck was a spike. I think Sam said Kennedys buck was about the 130th buck taken this year on that ranch. Oh, by the way Sam put some 1 1/2" thick steaks on the grill and they were the best Ive ever had--When the deer business is gone-- Sam can open a steakhouse, but from the many hunters I have talked to in his camps, I think Sam will be guiding for along time. One hunter this year told me that he was on his 15 th hunt with Sam. Sam --YOU THE MAN!

Thanks Darren,
I really appreciate the kind words.
There is nothing I like better than to take the kids hunting. At this point in the season, I am getting a little tired but when Kennedy showed up with that big smile on her face, she lit up the deer camp. I had 4 other hunters here that were done hunting and wanted to stay an extra day just to see if she got her deer! They were not dissapointed! Here is a picture of Kennedy and her deer. Its a good thing she got her good looks from her mom!
I feel very lucky when a family decides to spend some of thier family time wth us. I have a family of six here right now shooting does and a few small bucks. They traveled all the way from South LA to spend thier break with us and some quality time together. The total cost for ALL 6 of them is less than 2500. They are not rich people. Just a nice middle class family that loves the outdoors.
By the way, its New Years Day. I wish everybody a great 2011. Lets all make a new resolution to work together to try to promote preserve hunting as an activity that can be enjoyed by the entire family. Happy New Year to all!

Whoops, I made a mistake on the pedigree for Blue 99. W-51 is out of Timberjack over Y-63 not Timberjack over B29. Sorry, I don't think it will affect the naming but lets keep trying anyway. The first pedigree is the wrong one the second is the correct one.
