Pretty sure I saw him up close in rifle season.

Found my first one yesterday right between 2 of my favorite ladder stands, about 150 yards from each, on a well used main travel trail that runs along a bench halfway up the hillside. It has a lot more mass than the two 2.5 year olds we killed this year. Spent quite a while looking for the other side, to no avail.

One of my favorite all-time books! He actually spoke/performed at our Sportsmen’s Dinner at Church years ago. GREAT author, speaker and singer!
Sorry to go on tangent...........

A few weeks ago I found my first shed. Last Sunday I discovered a camera I had forgotten about and it was full of pictures of bucks that were still holding their antlers. I spent a couple hours yesterday on top of that hill, which was about 100 yards from where I found the first shed, and found 3 more, 2 of which were a matched set. I'll post the pictures later today.

Here are my most recent finds. The top (5 points) was about 50 yards from a stand. I will see if I have a recent picture of the deer. The matching set (4X3) was found together 200 yards away from the top one, 15 yards from another stand. Both these finds were on top of the ridge. The shed I found a month ago was 3/4 of the way down over the hill about 150 yards or so between both the stands.

This would have been a 15 yard shot. Antler was found about 35 yards ahead of where the deer was going.

Here is half of the ten point held at about the same angle as the buck in the trail cam picture.

Not to hijack thread, I was going to start a thread asking what happened to Rut-Nut?
Back on topic. Coworker saw 3 bucks together this past weekend. All still holding both sides. Wayne county.

He had a road trip down south to see his daughter play in a college tennis tournament last week. I sent you an e-mail with the wide seven yesterday, rut.

LOL Jethro! : ) I was getting my last week of ice-fishing in before packing up my mtn bike and kayak and heading to Hilton Head S.C. for a week.
Oh, ok Art. Haven’t caught up on all my e-mails yet…………..

Found another left side shed yesterday in a field 250 yards above the house. Number 5. Don't think it matches the first one.
