Jon, you pig, you called me out of the groundhog hole I've been living in. It was getting kind of cozy in there too! Now you HAVE to draw me a map to your hunting area. Seriously, we need to talk about next fall..I've spent a little time near the area you mentioned in email.
Ok, here's the guy I caught following a doe around a week ago tuesday morning. She looked kind of bothered with the whole deal so I figured I'd do her a favor and run a big Snuffer through him. 10-12 yards, through the big plumbing on top of the heart, 60 yards and he tipped over. Nice mature buck, 4 1/2 or 5 1/2 yrs old, 255 live wt. Take a look at the residual 3rd antler on top of his head. Grows out of a separate 1/2 - 3/4 inch pedical between the other two. Surprised me to see something like this on such a symmetrical deer.
