Already ate a couple, quite tasty, wild doesn't bother me.  Grew up on wild game of all kinds, even some most are shocked I've ate.  The other two were little fellas tho, this one was heavy, not sure of weight but felt heavier than 150.  Could be I am just getting older.    Definitely rutty for sure, head looked like a peanut on top of a fencepost.  He was nose down and cruising just had a snap shot then he would have been gone.  He was definitely looking for some romance, was starting to smell pretty good.  isn't it a little early for that?  
Here is another pic.

Good luck Fanatic,    They were in the thick today, but that's normal  .  More like rabbit hunting.  Now I'm getting stoked for elk.  One more week (and a couple days) then hopefully Bang Flop!  Hope to see the boy get a shot this weekend at a buck.  I think that would get his blood flowing and maybe make hunting almost as exciting as girls.
