I watched a few nice mature bucks on your place a few times last year. Time to get my cams up and running again. Seems the deer are healthy aroud there. Now if we could thin the does a bit. Seeing 50 in one field section at once is a bit much.

I live in Ocean Shores, WA of course you can't hunt here but all the bucks I've seen here dropped around the 3rd week of February. I was driving along the Canal yesterday and seen a buck with about 4 inches of velvet horn. He is going to be a big son of bi&&& this year!! I however can't wait to see my 7 point to see if he gets bigger or starts over.

I was shooting my .30-06, and .22lr and saw about 200 deer driving in to Chattaroy from Spokane. One of the deer had about 3.5 inches of newly grown antler. It was a very mild winter and should be a great year for mature bucks. Im sure many of us will see alot of bucks out chasing "thunder chickens"(gobblers) this spring. It is always fun seeing bucks no matter what time of year it is! :tup:

All I can say is:
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I saw a small buck last night with one antler.  I've typically seen them hard horned until the second week of March but never in April...

All I can say is:

Skyval, you must be pretty hard up.

We're talking about 1" antler bumps here  :chuckle:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.
