The buck from my original post is looking pretty good .I watched him for a while tonight about 60 yds.off the road. Currently,he's a really nice 6-pt. with around an 18" spread and 5"G2's and he's just knobbing out on the ends of his beamsto form G3's. He should be a 8-pt in a few days. I can't wait to see him a month from now. There's been 6 otherbucks feeding in the alfalfa with him every night...three look to be 2 yr. olds and are all just starting to form G2's and the other three are yearlings with just brow tines and mainbeams. I took a ride around tonight to look for some otherbucks...but all I saw were a bunch of does. The big boys will be showing up before too long.

The big surprise thatI had tonight was having a bear run across the road in front of my truck. When it reached the woodline on the other side it stood onits hind legs looking at me from about 25-30 yd. away. I'm guessing it was last years cub and probably weighed 130-150 lbs...itwas a healthy looking bear with a reddish colored tint to its coat. It was pretty cool because its only the second bear that I've ever seen here in the western Finger Lakes Region.
