    This weather is really screwing me.. woke up Saturday morning and it was pouring, and most of this week isn't looking too promising either.. hoping that changes

    Had a possible chance at a nice 8point. But the elderly hunter who entered the woods across the field at 5:30 dropped something outta his stand and blew him outta the field at about 6:15… scouted another property and found these Image1635179643.886541.jpg Image1635179653.483325.jpg Image1635179664.006404.jpg

    nice! not always the size of the tree but more the height up the tree will tell you more of how big the buck is. Not all but most of my rubs are on little popplar sucker trees that are an inch or two in diameter but the height varies significantly from the size of the deer.

    I see I see, well I’m back on 55 hours this week so I probably won’t find out what that deer is for a while damn it…. Tired of these long weeks. Really freaking tired of then

    My best guess is year and a half or two and a half, I'm only guessing based on my experience on my family property and going off of information i have been told. I could be 100% wrong.

    Congrats! A baby during the season should be worth some consolation points.
