and wouldn't ya know it, I've been over there twice now and can't find the darn thing. Got a call into the neighbor to see if I can comb through his wooded back lot. I just can't help but try to find it. I don't think i'll put pressure on them. They are protected, well fed and used to humans, I hand fed a little fork a geranium this summer!
Those guys seem to still be rutting too. cam check yesterday produced another buck with broken tines. Plus fresh scrapes all over the place. It was raining and I came across one that was still dry it was so fresh.
