Cactus Muleys
« on: August 22, 2013, 11:02:07 AM »
I have been seeing a lot of these bucks the last two years on our farm. I don't know why all of a sudden they are showing up or what it means for the deer herd in my area. Last year there was a group of 4 that were hanging together. This is the first one i have gotten a pic of.

Is someone out there castrating fawns?

I think they'll stay in velvet and not shed. No testosterone.

Sound like a great time to have some kids over, and have them thin them out of the herd.

I am all for the youth hunts. I spend most of my mod season getting kids their deer.
