In WI wet spring and earlier summer will always bring big antlers. I keep logs of everything I do in the woods and those logs are very accurate this year. If there is plenty to eat at the right time, we in WI, can have a special season. And by the way.... THAT BUCK IS SOLID!
heck, I'd just like to see more/better pix of him over the next few months - hopefully you get some! lotsa mass there!!!
I'm right behind you... can you imagine seeing something like THAT with a bow in your hand??? That buck is a BEAST!
