I was looking for a big buck and this what I found.
« on: September 29, 2013, 03:38:28 PM »
Well day one of my muzzy deer hunt was windy and rainy, seen a few small bucks and does. This morning the rain stopped so I went for a walk to try to find one of a few nice bucks I'd seen scouting. I was only about 15 minutes into my hike when this guy cut across a clearing in front of me. :IBCOOL:
