'06 - 2,5 yr olds -- 3
'06 - 3.5 yr olds -- 2
'06 - 4.5 yr olds+ -- 0
'07 - 2.5 yr olds -- 0
'07 - 3.5 yr olds -- 0

(So far)
'08 - 2.5 yr olds -- 0
'08 - 3.5 yr olds -- 0

RE: Past 3 seasons.......buck sightings
I couldn't even begin to answer that question. For starters my memory ain't that good, and quite a few were seen at a distance, not to mention I've seen a ton of bucks in the last 3 years. No possible way for me to answer that.

RE: Past 3 seasons.......buck sightings
I can only say that I think I have taken 3 bucks that were probably 1.5 yrs old and one that was maybe 4.5 all with the bow over a 2 yr span. These were the biggest bucks I saw from stand except for2 and I did not get a shot on them. All of them would go around 100-110 ", even the 4.5 yr old. I do not know how to age a buck all that well though.. I saw several small young bucks the past 2 seasons.

'06 - 4.5 yr olds+ -- 0
'07 - 2.5 yr olds --3 killed one

'08 - 3.5 yr olds --1
'08 - 4.5yrolds+ --2 killed one.Stephanie missed the other.
