Hope everyone had a good weekend. I ended up bagging a doe on Saturday night, the first deer with my new Hoyt
. I posted a question asking for guesses as to her age because I am thinking 6.5 to 7.5. Her molars were almost flat and very low on the gumline. WheneverI get a deer that old (which is rare for a free ranging deer) I can't help but wonder how many times I have run into her before, if she has busted me before, or even if I had ever missed her. Thats a long time to be alive. I also put up a couple of new stands today. I was just about to the ridgetop of a steep hill and sat down to take a break when the wind blew and I got a very strong, pungent whiff of buck urine. It smelt just like tarsal glands in the heat of the rut. I looked around a little bit and found a large scrape that just reeked. It had obviously been freshened recently. Hope the rest of you had some luck.
