Title: Genetics or injury?
Post by: Elkfun12 on May 17, 2023, 09:01:06 AM: Checked winter camera. Had this nice blacktail come in 3 days after I put out some scent and he showed up 2 days in a row during the day. Just wondering if he will always be a 2 point on his one side or just a 1 year deal. Just food for thought.
