Title: Good antler growth
Post by: kselkhunter on June 18, 2017, 06:42:02 PM: Couple bucks in my back yard right now. This larger one is an annual resident. Was 4x4 last year, but with those two new points down lower he should be a 5x5 this year, at least. Good size for a blacktail, and wider spread with thicker antlers. Hopefully a good sign for this season's bucks in the wilderness.

The forked horn with this guy today is fatter with thicker antlers than I'm used to seeing, and the does and fawns I see weekly are also looking really healthy. Good signs.
