BUMPS

The beginning of each season of deer hunting begins with the end of antlers.

The bucks endure the annual shed as their calcified headress falls to the earth to be consumed by the elements of nature.

After a time, the process begins anew with the emergence of new horn growth signifying the initiation of the new season.

The Tin Star Ranch bucks have traveled this well worn trail yet again as evidenced by the sprouting of "bumps" on their foreheads as precursors to their "crowns".

And so begins another year of patient observation of what may be, the trophy that could allow collection in a moment of fortunate circumstance, or simply the heart-felt appreciation of another opportunity to enjoy the wonder of God's creations.
