I have been doing a good deal of scouting this summer already. Either through glassing fields, ground hog hunting or driving around. I've noticed some exceptional bucks for this time of year on my property and I've heard from others around the area as well. I watched 3 18-20" wide deer about a week ago. I couldn't tell points because they were too far away, but I could make out that they had very good frames already.

I've heard the same thing from a couple of the guys I work with who've also seen bucks already this year that were exceptional for this time of year. And these bucks were on heavily hunting public ground.

Anyone else seeing this? I don't agree with everything that Alt did when he was running the show.........but maybe he wasn't as nuts as some thought.
