Never heard a doe called the, " Freak Nasty ", but that is what we will name her Tom ! I am with you as far as hunting and shooting..... The real hunt starts the day you scout a new spot and find, "the tree". After that it is the, "shooting" part of it. My favorite is the hunt, just got to get better at finding, "the tree". I am close but no cigar. Usually I am off by 20-30yds seems like, just cannot get them to follow the script most days. Thanks for sharing about the locust trees and bean pods. Do Black locusts have bean pods too and if so will the deer eat both Black and Honey locust pods Tom ? We have NO mast this year and I know where a locust thicket is that is surrounded by honesuckles too. We even named this thicket, " The Graveyard", last year when we found about 20 dead deer there. Guess it was blue tongue disease.
Sure hope you find that buck's sheds in the Spring and assign him the proper spread and score him for us ! Great pics and story as always, thanks for sharing bud !
