Title: Rosies still pakin
Post by: kglacken on March 28, 2011, 06:53:43 PM: I just got home from baseball practice and in my back field along the timber was a bachelor herd of 5 or 6 bulls. I tried to get pictures but they didnt turn out well. When do you thikn they will drop their antlers? I will post pictures if I get them!

We saw another herd of 17 with a dandy 5 pt bull, a 3 pt and a spike. Plus we saw another 20 several hundred yards away that I would be certain that there were shed bulls in among them. No visible racks though.

I was up in the 418 yesterday as well, I saw 1 bull with a half rack (3 point) and a 1 other with nubbs.

Were you in an Isuzu Trooper type rig parked at the DNR gate? If so, that was my car there.

Here is some trialcam photo proof of growth.
