I saw a bachelor herd of 4 the day before yesterday, all packin' except a 2 point that was missing his right side, but that could have been from earlier in the season.  I've never seen that particular deer before.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

When do the whitetails start dropping? I have a 5x5 at my cabin I have been getting picture's of him at the feeder would like to find the set. was thinking it would be nice to get a cape and have them mounted to put in the cabin.

I never start looking, but as of late I have been waiting until later to give them a break.  I am sure it costs me some sheds, but someone has to make the first step.  there are competetive guys going for them at Christmas.  they push it earlier and earlier each year and if we aren't careful we will lose the priviledge until MAY

Well said bone! it is getting closer and closer to a shed season and with our game department we will probably going to have to buy a permit to look for them.  :twocents:

I am honestly surprised that the state hasn't decided to cash in on it by making us buy a permit to do it.  How have those money-grubbers missed that one...?
