    This is a side to a buck one of my buddies hit with a bow in November. 160” 5 year old. This is his smaller side.

    Is that the one you posted about the guy never finding? Or was that different? Nice to know he survived if so.

    Also found a giant shed buck dead. Im about 80% certain I know what buck it is. If it is, I’m gonna be crushed. It’s a buck I’ve been after for 2 years. 8 years old.

    Harsh winter more than likely. This one makes 5 dead bucks on just that farm.

    Beat? Never heard that used that way before?
    Booner, yeah we've found four total here so far. Ours most likely are poaches though. I can't really see ours dying from a harsh winter, it was rougher than usual but with all the food and cover I can't see it. Also ours all had their antlers still intact. All were within site of a county road too. Either that or we had a lot of disease hit right around the end of season.

    I over seeded about 70 acres of pasture with medium red and ladino clover last week but I cheated and used a tractor and a big 3-pt spreader. Good times.
