January 31 - JJ Kolesar

Hunter: JJ Kolesar
Animal: 8 Point Program Buck
Location: Louisiana
Weapon: PSE Dream Season GX

Well, the title of Dream Season 6 TV is "Redemption", and I think we lived it. We were trying to redeem ourselves from DSTV3, but found ourselves struggling a bit this year as well. Fortunately, the late season treated us well, and we were able to turn things around. I, myself, had a rough season, struggling to get bucks into range. As a matter of fact, I pitched a shutout for the '08' season. That is a tough pill to swallow in this business, but it is a reality.

However, Tara Wildlife and Willow Point made my fading redemption opportunity a reality. I was able to harvest this beautiful 8-point buck on the Louisiana island of Willow Point. Tara Wildlife runs a srict management program which means we passed on some excellent potential deer through the course of the hunt. With only a half an hour to spare in the season as a whole this beauty came in and gave us the opportunity we needed. "Better late than never" as some say. Jenn Wolffe, the Catch-A-Dream participant had a good feeling about me getting a chance, and I thank her for her positive vibe. My partner, Kyle, captured some excellent footage and were able to finish our season on a high note. Thanks to Catch-a-Dream, Tara Wildlife and our guides, and Drury Outdoors. Good Luck with the Turkeys and Predators!
