ya...blizzards back to back round here....nearly impossible to find any....i usally have over 200 miles worth of boot leather in by march 1st...this year under 30 miles....patience I tell myself..."good things come to those who wait"...lol
Spent most of the night in the truck last night....note to self...dont forget the shovels next time! Thankfully we always travel with lots of extra cloths in case this happens out in the middle of nowhere...
Found a good one today in my backyard sanctuary....had him in bow range last season but he just didnt give me an ethical shot...got his shed/s for 4 years straight now...hes been a shooter all 4 years....but made a nice jump last season...super heavy.
Its a muddy monkey here with all the snow melt and 2-3" rain coming...was hard walking all day but added another 8 to the pile....lots bucks with both sides big ones included....water running everywhere...rivers flooding outa its banks...just outright anarchy out there!
A couple of my treestands...theres up to 200 deer pooled up in this grove year round...300 in the winter...flooding has left limited bedding and travel routes for such a huge herd.
Heres a shed from a buck my wife and I have been after for 7 years...lives in our backyard...hes at least 11-12 years old. The mass is literally as big as my forearm.
Was his 2017 rack...would have rather found it fresh.
Heres the biggest typical 5 point shed Ive ever held...a buck my brothers been chasing for a season or two...all the locals tried gettn him last season but he made it through...
The pic doesnt do this thing justice...a true 30" plus main beam...a 190 class typical 10 point.
