My calandar says that we have two more days until official drop day. But I really think it all depends on the moon phase, barometric pressure, wind, temperature, food source, and shed boxes.  :chuckle:

All kiding aside. Not sure what you mean by official but a few always start dropping about now, here in central Wa majority really start around end of Febrary. I still keep my distance, even though the flat and bucks dont have a winter and stress is no a factor, it is nice to keep tabs on them and not run them out of an area.  :twocents:

Yep, people should get out there and start pushing them.......they need it, and also they need to be driven further back before they shed. :chuckle:

I love it when someone makes an obviously sarcastic statement, and someone on here has to ask if they are kidding. Someone would have to be PRETTY *censored* to come on here bragging about running deer around with their quad to make them drop horns.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

where bouts up there?

Yesterday, I seen a Dandy 2 point with only one horn! I got quite a few pics but everyone was blurry and really far away.  :bash: I'm gonna head back up to that same spot with my dad's nice camera (which is a far better one than mine) and try to get some decent pics if he's still in the area. There was also a small buck with him that you could see both of his horn pedestals but no horns. Im assuming he was a spike last year considering how small a deer he was.

Saw plenty today with full headgear. I even saw two big boys sparring a little bit.
It is hard to follow one great vision in a world of darkness and of many changing shadows. Among these shadows men get lost.
