I'm trying to go back this weekend if I can get out of work to seal the deal. Buck my dad shot wasn't neck-swollen but was trailing a doe pretty hot and heavy. Also heard that a few guys saw a buck trying to mount another buck. So that, plus the cold weather coming in this week could lead to some rutting activity. Good luck!

Good luck to everyone heading over there this weekend. Looks like a few inches of snow in the forecast for Saturday night/Sunday morning. Might get intersting over there!

Did said group happen to shoot to 4x4's opening day up on ramsey?? If so, those 3 guys were camped next to us.
11 in our group last weekend, 2 shooters spotted was it.

Did not see a lime green jeep, just an early 2000ish green dodge pickup.
