    Got in a few walks at different properties. Didn't find anything til the end of the day and picked up 2 fresh ones. Also, I think I matched one from a couple of weeks ago. It poured rain for 3 hours, and i got completely soaked. Even filled up my rubber boots to the top. Also, this buck has some impressive bases on him! 20250305_185456.jpg 20250305_185437.jpg 20250305_185905.jpg

    Those are some serious bases! That's a heck of a six point. Finding a matching set makes it sweeter!

    I’ve walked a couple new areas the last couple weeks with nothing really to show for it. Hopefully tomorrow is better if not I’m planing the drive up to my private sometime this month hopefully I trip over one there

    Took a quick walk on a small piece of public yesterday. Didn't find much sign, but did stumble on a nice one! 20250320_121639.jpg

    Holt told me to only focus on shed hunting while looking for sheds. It's hard for me. But it paid off today.

    One of my target bucks, i found dead this past Saturday. Just had him on camera 2 months ago. 26 inches inside spread. Rough scored 151. Seen him during season once last year and thought he was only a 3yr old maybe 4. Sad way to find him.

    I'm not for sure. Just had him on camera 2 months ago looking healthy. We had some hard cold and a ton of snow and thats when he disappeared.

    I’ve been able to get out a few times and pick up a few. Not the best pic, but I’ve got 19 so far.
