Title: Good antler growth????
Post by: Pigfuz on May 17, 2013, 10:51:14 PM: Well I finally got some pictures of the bucks that we have been trying to find. Two of them seem to have excellent growth already however I don't have much to compare them to. Is this good growth for this time of year on a blacktail?

Ive got pics of lots of good bucks and put in lots of time but still have not mad connection between a buck and my arrow. Ive got 4 elk and 2 deer but neither of the der were bucks. I guess that's what happens when you cant afford to eat your tag.
