Congrats on the bull, Troy. Great lookin' animal, and the kids look pretty wound up about it. They did the dragging for the old man, right?

I guess I'm with the rest of the crowd here, b/c I wanna hear the story.

Sidenote: I found a HUGE community scrape this morning before work, while I was out scouting the new farm. There's a thicket that juts out into an isolated soybean field. About 10 yards into the field, there's an area, about 5 yards by 8 yards that is pawed down to the mud. There are hundreds of deer tracks in it, and flies buzzing around it (which indicates that there is some urine/droppings in there).

My buddy is hunting any legal buck, do you think it would be wise to put him right over this scrape all-day Saturday?? (Even if a buck comes, there'sa 90% chance that he screws it up anyway, LOL. I just want to see him get a shot, or evenjust SEE one)

Keep in mind that this scrape is on top of a hill, and is visible from a couple other fields. My guess is that most/all of this is nightwork.

I've just never seen a scrape so huge, and so heavily-used. Please advise. My guess is that he might stand a pretty good chance at dawn/dusk.
